ABSTRACT Participants in this study included Sikh/Punjabi parents who had a child enrolled in the K-12 school system. These parents were invited to complete a survey and participate in a focus group. The purpose of this study was to gauge the current experiences of children within the Sikh/Punjabi community by eliciting parents for their perceptions of whether schools and educators possess an understanding of their identity/culture and respond accordingly. Findings indicate that parents believed their child's school/teacher respected their cultural background but felt that the ability to understand and engage with them as Punjabi-Sikhs was lacking.

父母对旁遮普锡克教徒的学生及其家人的学校/老师有效性的看法

摘要这项研究的参与者包括锡克教徒/旁遮普人的父母，他们的孩子被K-12学校系统录取。邀请这些父母完成调查并参加焦点小组。这项研究的目的是通过激发父母对学校和教育者是否对自己的身份/文化有所了解并做出相应回应的方式，来评估锡克教徒/旁遮普族儿童的当前经历。调查结果表明，父母认为孩子的学校/老师尊重他们的文化背景，但觉得缺乏旁遮普锡克教徒的理解和与他们互动的能力。
