“降落伞孩子”是一群经过精心挑选的外国学生，他们来美国是为了在美国的小学或高中接受更好的教育。抵达美国时，这些孩子通常在8到17岁之间；许多人持F-i学生签证入境；一些人持有B-2访客签证，但后来调整为F-i学生签证。然而，从某种程度上说，降落伞孩子和其他处境类似的移民儿童正处于寻找自我认同的青春期前或青少年时期，他们受到来自家庭、美国同龄人和东道国社会的类似要求和压力的影响。这篇文章讨论了降落伞孩子作为一个社会群体是如何产生的，并提供了跨国家庭固有风险的分析。为了找出可能影响降落伞孩子教育经历的因素，这篇文章还试图强调教育美国新第二代的政策含义。
"Parachute kids " are a highly select group of foreign students who have come to the United States to seek a better education in American elementary or high schools. Upon arrival in America, these children were typically between ages 8 and 17; many were admitted on F-i student visas; some were on B-2 visitor visas but later adjusted to F-i student visas. To the extent that they are in their preteens or teens in search of self-identities, however, the parachute kids and other similarly situated immigrant children are subject to similar demands and pressures imposed on them by their families, their American peers, and the host society. This article discusses how parachute kids as a social group have come about and provides an analysis of the risks inherent in transnational families. In an attempt to sort out possible factors influencing the educational experience of parachute kids, the article also seeks to highlight policy implications for educating America's new second generation.
