Abstract	The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the experiences African American and Latino parents had with their children's primarily White educators, as well as their expectations of those educators. The research was conducted by individually interviewing African American and Latino (sometimes referred to as Hispanic) parents and analyzing their responses to find common themes and patterns. This study took place in an urban community approximately 40 miles southwest of Chicago, IL. The elementary/junior high school district had 19 schools and the students were approximately 57% Hispanic, 26% Black, and 13% White. The teachers were approximately 75% White, 9% African American, and 13% Hispanic. Analyses of data showed the African American parents had more communication and stronger relationships with their children's educators than the Latino parents and Latino parents were more engaged in the whole school community than the African American parents. Overall, the African American parents expected more from their children's educators than the Latino parents. Neither the African American nor the Latino parents believed their children's education was compromised--or even influenced--by the diversity gap, that is, the fact that the majority of their children's teachers were White, while the majority of the students were African American or Latino.
