[quote=Anonymous]I'm not trying to be a troll, truly, but I'm starting to wonder, after all the discussions on this (although I know I shouldn't believe everything, or even most things, I read on DCUM). Our DC has been accepted and we intend to go but we're starting to wonder if there are ANY other families going whose kids already speak some Mandarin (our child mostly understands it, generally responds in English but will respond to Chinese and say short phrases in Chinese). Those in K and higher, do you at least half one or two families in your classroom who speak the language at home? I noticed during the tour that kids responded to teachers in English a lot of the time. Maybe it was only the lower grades but I suspect it's harder to get kids to use Chinese as they get older, not easier. [/quote]
