Family separation policies’ impacts on children’s education and well-being are critical issues of our time. This paper argues through ethnographic study that although im/migrant parents believed in the promise of a better life for their children as they migrated, COVID-19 and remote schooling contributed to a breakdown in structures of care once they were in the United States. Thus, the experience of remote schooling during 2020 was a difficult task for parents and children who were already dealing with the trauma of detention or separation at the border. Ultimately, we argue that to understand the educational experiences of im/migrant parents and children in the United States, we must consider a multiple disruptions framework. The findings in this article reveal the layered consequences that broader immigration policy has on the everyday educational lives of im/migrant children and their parents.

全球大流行中的移民子女教育经历与家庭牺牲

家庭分离政策对儿童教育和福祉的影响是我们这个时代的关键问题。本文通过人种学研究认为，尽管移民父母相信他们的孩子在移民时会过上更好的生活，但 COVID-19 和远程教育导致他们在美国后的护理结构崩溃。因此，2020 年的远程教育经历对于已经在处理边境拘留或分离创伤的父母和孩子来说是一项艰巨的任务。最终，我们认为，要了解美国移民父母和孩子的教育经历，我们必须考虑一个多重中断框架。
