[quote=Anonymous][quote]NP. PP never said that. I think you're wrong that Asian immigrant children are likely to have been well-educated back at home. Where are you getting that? This is such a stereotype.[/quote] So, there's not easily accessed data on levels of schooling before immigration for minor children, but let's assume that parental education is a decent proxy for whether a minor immigrant was enrolled in school before arrival. 66 percent of Southeastern Asian immigrants had some college before arriving in the United States 81 percent of South Asians had some college before arrival. Only 5% had less than a 9th grade education. Only 27 percent of Central Americans had some college before arrival and 30% had less than a 9th grade education before arrival. So, yes, there are massive structural differences between these immigrant groups that could explain disparate outcomes, beyond whether they "value education and assimilation."[/quote]
