We are amazed to hear our children reading to us.
Now we understand that our language is just as good as every other language. Before we thought it was inferior because our children were not learning in school. This gives us equal status with all other language groups.
Since our children now get a better education, our own interest in school is high. We now participate in all kinds of school-related activities: we help to take care of the school, and we meet to discuss the wellbeing of our children. This kind of thing never happened before( Blacksten, 2014, p. 4.)
