This study explored the obstacles to southeast Asian immigrant mothers' involvement in their children's learning. Samples were collected from 5 areas. Local families served as a contrast group.There were 395 immigrant mothers and 509 local mothers. The data were analyzed by factor analysis, Chi-square, and ANOVA. The results were as follows: (1) The immigrant mothers had less communication with teachers than did the local mothers when children in the 3rd/4th grades and 5th/6th grades, but no difference in junior high.
