Perceptions of Chicano/Latino Students Who Have Dropped Out of School

Reports on qualitative study of focus group interviews with Chicano/Latinos who had dropped out of school. Responses revealed themes of alienation and discrimination in the school setting. Discusses roles of school counselors as multicultural advocates and community-family-school liaisons. Recommendations from focus groups centered on three areas of change: structural support, school-home link, and accountability of interventions. (Author/JDM)
