[quote=Anonymous]I can't believe how low standards are around here for monolingual schools. These kids speak and write English no better (and mostly significantly worse) than mine -- who spend half of their schooldays in Chinese classrooms. It's just appalling. (The point I'm actually making is that it's silly to condemn Yu Ying or other language immersion schools soley because most of their students don't achieve fluency. If those students aren't giving up anything in English, math, or anywhere else, and still are achieving dramatically more proficient foreign language abilities than they would have in monolingual elementary schools, isn't that success? Or at least something better than abject failure?)[/quote]
