Parents' Aspirations and Investment: The Role of Social Class in the Educational Experiences of 1.5- and Second-Generation Chinese Americans.
Louie, Vivian
Harvard Educational Review, v71 n3 p438-74 Fall 2001
Interviews with 68 Chinese-American undergraduates show that immigrant parents have high expectations for children, but middle- and working-class parents have different resources and pursue different strategies in investing in children's education. Both immigrant optimism and pessimism were apparent. (Contains 70 references.) (SK)
