[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, do you use the Hope school or some other outside source to assist you in Chinese language instruction, or do you do it all yourself? We are interested in YY and don't live near a JKLM or comparable school, but if we don't get a slot, we'd like to know what others like you are doing to teach Mandarin anyway.[/quote]I can't imagine raising a child who speaks both Chinese and English well without being native speakers receiving lots of help from the extended family. We haven't been impressed with the Chinese of the older YY kids we speak Mandarin with, other than those whose families have hosted Chinese au pairs for years. We have headed to the same Rockville Sunday afternoon program (3 Hours) since our kids were 3 years old. All the students are from Immigrant families. Can't beat it. YY Seems pretty cruise by comparison, the emphasis being on inclusion/diversity vs, high standards. Good luck.[/quote]
