Race, income and location play a significant role in determining a parent’s confidence in his or her child’s education, a new Associated PressNORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll says.
While Black and Latino parents and low-income and urban families have more worries about public education than affluent, white, suburban families, they are also more likely to see improvements in their schools. More than 70 percent of Black and Latino parents say that their children are receiving a better education than they did as kids, compared with just 56 percent of white parents.
