Hispanic students battle many of the problems that other minority students do � the lack of role models and practical college advice at home, as well as inadequate preparation from schools. But they also face additional barriers of language and culture, particularly an attachment to the extended family, the experts say. Latino teenagers often stay home while attending college, making it all the more likely that they get caught up in their families' financial needs. "With living at home often comes the sense of having to contribute and be one of the wage earners in the extended family," said Roberto Suro, Pew center director.

OK, but the Chinese also have a culturally ingrained tendency to sacrifice themselves for their families. I suspect that the problem is that Latino families may be willing to sacrifice the child's education for the good of the family, whereas for the Chinese, the family in the short term sacrifices for the good of the child's education, while in the long term, they expect reciprocity from the child. Here we go:

Some students complained about parents who came to this country to work and want their children to do the same � as soon as possible.

That's so short-sighted.
