Suggestions for additions to this FAQ are most welcome. Many thanks to those who saw earlier versions of this FAQ and added to or corrected the information posted earlier. And special thanks to the persons who wrote suggesting that I post a copy of this FAQ on the World Wide WebI have now done so here, http://learninfreedom.org/ed-newsgroups.html at my Web site, which has links to other information about on-line resources for self-education. Some of the newsgroups listed here are very inactive (possibly because they are not carried at many sites). Some are very active, with verifiable frequent postings from multiple countries. But in general the proportion of all Internet users who discuss issues on Usenet has been declining since 1997 as Web-based discussion boards and E-mail mailing lists have become more popular. For a more up-to-date picture of where people discuss education issues on-line, see this site's Discussion Groups about Education Reform and Home-Schooling page.

Extractions: Note: this is an exposure draft only. A pronunciation of British English, originally based on the speech of the upper class of southeastern England and characteristic of the English spoken at the public schools and at Oxford and Cambridge Universities. Until recently it was the standard form of English used in British broadcasting. An overview of "Received Pronunciation" More notes on Pronunciations of English ([David CRYSTAL: The Cambridge Encyclopaedia of the English Language. Cambridge University Press, 1995. ISBN: 521 40179 8.]): In England, one accent has traditionally stood out above all others in its ability to convey associations of respectable social standing and a good education. This "prestige" accent is known as RECEIVED PRONUNCIATION, or RP. It is associated with the south-east, where most RP-speakers live or work, but it can be found anywhere in the country. Accents usually tell us where a person is from; RP tells us only about a person's social or educational background. In due course, RP came to sybolize a person's high position in society. During the 19th century, it became the accent of public schools, such as Eton and Harrow, and was soon the main sign that a speaker had received a good education. It spread rapidly throughout the Civil Service of the British Empire and the armed forces, and became the voice of authority and power. Because it was a regionally 'neutral' accent, and was thought to be more widely understood than any regional accent, it came to adopted by the BBC, when radio broadcasting began in the 1920s. During WW2, it became linked in many minds with the voice of freedom, and the notion of a "BBC pronunciation" grew.

Extractions: Differences in the Schools: One of the most straightforward explanations for the lack a success of Latino students, especially at the high school level, relates to the level of education and achievement expected of students by themselves and their parents and is thus easily termed "cultural" in it's origins. This explanation, although certainly not all-encompassing, was often referred to in our interviews. In Latin America school is only for everyone until the sixth grade level and after that only those interested in much more serious academic endeavors continue in school. Paulina Alvarado stated that, in Latin America, college is not an expected part of every students life- only the 'best' go, and they must choose at the age of 16 what they are going to study. One Princeton High School graduate expressed this same thought on the differences of who attends school in his country of origin: In Mexico "…if you start school it's because you're going to do it. Here some guys just go to play, to joke around. They don't go to study." Though this is probably true for a certain amount of the Latino community in Princeton it is not a complete explanation or a very valid way to look at the whole community. It is also possible that Latino students here may feel like they have no options for the future- whereas college is free in Latin America, they know that it is expensive here and thus don't see it as a reasonable possibility. From our interviews it is also apparent that many students and parents do have the expectation of obtaining a college degree. For example Interviewee 1, a nine year old girl, was pretty sure she wanted to go to college, and her mother too wants her to go. With the knowledge that this is true for a portion of the population, it is important to look at the many other issues involving the schools that create an academic inadequacy within the Latino student population.
