OP here. I'm Korean. My parents owned a dry cleaners. We rented an apartment in a good school district.

My school did not have many Asians but there was a handful. I don't think they got much attention because there was probably a total of 10 in the entire school. Of those, I knew 2 families who were goose families. I had never heard this term until I read about it a few minutes ago on DCUM. I became good friends with one of them. Yes, her English was limited when I first met her but she had to study 4x as much because she was constantly looking up words in her dictionary. Her dad lived and worked in Korea while her mom stayed with her in the US. I don't think they were doing anything to cheat the system. The family sacrificed being together for a few years to provide what they thought was the best future for their daughter.

I think the fairly wealthy or at least comfortable families can make this situation work. The parent who stays in Korea to work has to earn a good living to be able to support 2 households.

My parents immigrated together. They had very reputable professionals in Korea and gave up a lot of pride to stay together to run a dry cleaners.

The mindset of trying to give their children the best education they could provide is the same.[/quote]
