Abstract
Schools in the United States have historically served large numbers of immigrant students, and the population continues to grow today. Much research literature in education focuses on linguistic, academic and social issues around immigrant students from working-class families (e.g. Bettie, 2002; Flores-Gonzales, 1999); however, it is equally important to examine the experiences of upper/middle-class immigrant families in order to understand the dynamics of immigrants’ impact on schooling in the global context.
