This work highlights the high rates of delinquency and academic failure among new Asian Americans, and reveals shortcomings in the way schools educate "language minority" students. The author offers suggestions for ways in which schools might do a better job of educating all students.
Reveals the bitter contrast between the educational experiences of new Asian immigrant groups and the Asian American success myth and describes the well-intentioned but harmful practices that provide immigrants with a separate and unequal education.
