Cultural Impact:
This prioritization of education may perhaps best be validated by the cultural impact levied by the Chinese immigrant an descendent populations of the United States. The Chinese cultural impact today is felt in the population's extremely high level of visibility in the worlds of small business ownership and corporate leadership. As the text by Golden Venture (2009) reports, "Chinese immigrants and Chinese-Americans have contributed much to the U.S. economy. In 2002, there were over 286,000 Chinese-owned firms in the U.S., employing more than 649,100 workers, and generating more than $105 billion in revenue. The number of Chinese-owned businesses, mostly in professional, scientific and food-related services, grew 13.2% between 1997 and 2002, and are steadily rising." (Golden Venture, p. 1)
And in the era of globalization, there is an increasing awareness in the United States of the role that Chinese-based multinational firms are having on the business culture and socioeconomic hierarchy of the United States. In something of an ironic turn of events, America's subjugation of the Chinese immigrant populations so many years ago has been turned on its side. Today, many American businesses operate under the auspices of remote Chinese ownership. Likewise, many of China's best and brightest young business leaders are dispatched to the United States...
The result is not just an increasing visibility of Chinese arrivals in America at the higher tiers of business but also an increasing stature of Chinese-born or descendent leaders throughout corporate America.
Conclusion:
As still remains true for many immigrant populations, and particularly for those possessing easily identifiable physically distinguishing attributes, it still remains a challenge to gain a social, professional and cultural foothold in the United States. However, as the course of its evolution just across the last 150 years demonstrates, the Chinese-American has advanced remarkably in status over a relatively short duration.

Ianco-Worrell (1972), for example, found that children who are exposed to a bilingual environment from an early age are more skilled at learning new words and their meanings in their first language. Of course, there are other ways to help children increase their vocabulary in their first language. However, those other methods do not also bestow the many other benefits of bilingualism. And while there are additional costs to bilingual
bilingual educated students are more likely to continue education past high school, increase their chances of professional careers, have competitive academic achievement scores, improved social skills and a stronger interest in school education programs. The government interest, certification procedures and selection process of hiring qualified teachers is critical.

According to Malfaro, just a single year of English is not essentially sufficient to effectively make the initiative to reading and writing.

S. is a worthwhile goal, but the No Child Left Behind Act of 2002 is a poorly conceived approach whose deficiencies may actually do more to undermine many aspects of education than any meaningful improvement inspired by its programs.

All respondents also engage in code-switching on a linguistic level to clarify meaning when referring to both stories. The linguistic responses were not culturally monolithic -- rather, bilingual speakers showed a remarkable ability to fuse the two cultures and languages in which they were fluent. Although the different English and Greek scenarios elicited different responses, when speaking about their feelings the study subjects were able to delve into both vocabularies
Fifth, the NCLB is devoid of any meaningful consequences for failing to achieve federal objectives other than the publication of such failures in conjunction with the rights of parents to request transfers of their children to better-performing academic institutions (Darling-Hammond 2004). Critics have suggested that the most likely result of enforcement of such limited consequences for noncompliance is the overcrowding of institutions who fulfill the federal requirements to their detriment
