Basking in a Plains Foundation
Basking in a Plains Foundation A Paradoxical Exposure By: Vyletta Growing up in the Georgia panhandle in the 1950s and ’60s was never easy for Rexi, a black girl in a poor area. Her parents’ marriage was tumultuous. Her family or her neighbors always seemed to be dealing with one hardship or another. Everyone worked hard, but it was uncommon for anyone to get ahead and move up in the world. That was just the way the world worked back then.

Māori Parents and Education
This book identifies some of the aspirations and concerns of Maori parents for, and about, their children's education. It provides valuable insights which may contribute to shaping better home-school relationships for Maori parents and children. The parents in the study wanted their children to have a better education than they had, and expressed a strong wish to be involved in their child's schooling. The key factor is school outreach. When teachers reach out into the community, showing their respect for the relationships and activities which matter for Maori parents and their children, partnerships with parents appear to be more readily achieved. How well Maori children do at school is strongly linked towith how well parents and children relate to school staff.
