The Peirce Elementary School is a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual school located in the Edgewater community of Chicago. Peirce has 980 students: 60% of the students are Hispanic, 14% are black, 14% are white, and 12:%are Asian.

Parents of some cultures are quick to challenge the policies and actions of school personnel, while parents with yet other cultural backgrounds are horrified that these parents would not defer to the authority of the school. Some groups of parents are inclined to attend and" @default.
