Latinos in American Schools

This is an ethnographic study of Latinos in American schools which took place at the University of Toledo during the 2011-2013 academic years. The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of adult Latino university students' attitudes towards and experiences in American schools. Five participant adult Latino university students took part in an interview with me in which my interviewees discussed and relayed information about the formation of their Latino identity, and their experiences in American schools, especially focusing on the participants' perceptions of language choice and teachers' attitudes and acceptance of them. The benefit of this study would be the advancement of knowledge in the area of Latino education, which may help enrich the academic lives of Latinos and equip school faculty and administrators to better understand their educational needs on a deeper level.
