[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got in to Yu Ying and I am nervous - never actually thought we would get in. I am bad at languages. If my kid struggles what happens? What if your kid is at an immersion school and ends up sucking at learning a foreign language? You either continue through with bad grades or go back to general lottery? I could really use some advice.[/quote] Congratulations! Most kids do fine in Chinese, it's the English that sometimes suffers. In those cases, there's an alternate track with less Chinese starting in 4th grade. Mainly you need to decide how important Chinese (or just being bilingual) is to your family. Kids need extra help (eg Chinese weekend classes or au pair) to become fluent. We felt that exposure and a foundation in Chinese were enough given our financial and time constraints and are happy with the results. The school has warts just like any other, but we've had an excellent experience and our kids have thrived.[/quote]
