Objective.本研究探讨如何保留移民文化影响辍学率之间的越南人，韩国人，中国人，菲律宾人，日本人，墨西哥人，波多黎各人和古巴人。方法.我使用1990年人口普查数据来分析如何使用语言，家庭语言，并在家庭中存在的移民影响辍学。结果总的来说，我发现这些措施对这些不同的群体有类似的影响：双语学生比只说英语的学生辍学的可能性更小，双语家庭的学生比英语占主导地位或英语有限的家庭的学生辍学的可能性更小，移民家庭的学生比非移民家庭的学生辍学的可能性更小。结论.这些研究结果表明，那些享受最大的教育成功的人不是那些放弃了自己的民族文化和最适应文化的人。相反，能够从移民社区和主流社会汲取资源的双文化青年最有可能享受教育上的成功。
Objective. This study examines how retaining an immigrant culture affects school dropout rates among Vietnamese, Koreans, Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans. Methods. I use 1990 Census data to analyze how language use, household language, and presence of immigrants in the household affect dropping out of school. Results. Overall, I found that these measures have similar effects on these diverse groups: bilingual students are less likely to drop out than English-only speakers, students in bilingual households are less likely to drop out than those in English-dominant or English-limited households, and students in immigrant households are less likely to drop out than those in nonimmigrant households. Conclusions. These findings suggest that those who enjoy the greatest educational success are not those who have abandoned their ethnic cultures and are most acculturated. Rather, bicultural youths who can draw resources from both the immigrant community and mainstream society are best situated to enjoy educational success.
