Clearly anyone with college educated parents has an advantage, in any case, any ethnicity. And parents that are financially stable too!? Well, I hope you're going to Harvard at that point! 3 of my 4 children are from my ex, who is Hispanic. He grew up in a Spanish speaking *only* household. His elem. school offered an English tutor that studied with him at home and he did extremely well. Honors all the way through. This is the early 80's of course.

Cheri, First, thank you for all of this info. I will email you to set up a lunch. It may take a minute or two as I have literally just started unpacking into our new house in Pacifica.

New to Pacifica but baffled at the school bus situation. With 3 of my kids in 3 different schools , one car due to the recession mind you, this is troublesome. The amount of driving in the morning will be incredible not to mention the scheduling hassles, gas, etc. that will go on. I am one family. I wonder how many others are out there with this headache.
