Briefly provide information regarding the success and adjustment of the children of immigrant families
What will be an ideal response?
Immigrant children are faring quite well, and in some ways, doing better than their nonimmigrant peers. They tend to have equal or better grades than nonimmigrant students, and demonstrate similar levels of self-esteem. Their socioeconomic status is relatively high, and their parents are educated. Immigrant children are highly motivated and place a higher value on education than nonimmigrant children, and immigrant children feel an obligation and duty to succeed. Due to a strong identity, they do not adopt undesirable "American" behaviors.
