| It doesn't apply to this year. They've done it for 3 years (this year included) and it has been constant strife and stress for the school community. |

I'm sure the NY Chinatown trip will offer a good educational experience.
The school will partner up with various businesses in order to give the students a verbal and hands on experience with Chinese culture. |

So the work of learning mandarin for 8 years and the tutors and the tears... Leads to NY? I know families who've chosen the school because of this China trip and the opportunity for their children to practice the language in the country. Damn.
