An Exploratory Data Analysis of Reasons Hispanic Parents Give for Withdrawing or Denying Permission for Their Limited English Proficient Children to Participate in Transitional Bilingual Education Programs

This study attempted to answer three problems utilizing exploratory data analysis. The first problem determined and analyzed the reasons Hispanic parents, who reside in a typical school district with limited English proficient (LEP) students, give for withdrawing or denying permission for their LEP children to participate in transitional bilingual education programs. Secondly, this study provided an analysis of these parents' modes and extent of participation in the education of their LEP children and to compare that with a similar analysis of Hispanic parents who permit their LEP children to participate in transitional bilingual education programs. A third purpose of the study was to determine if there is a relationship between all of these parents' modes and extent of participation and their children's academic success.
