[quote=Anonymous]NP. Parents don't always have their heads around the pros/cons. We thought our kid's Mandarin was good (after 4th) because YY had always told us that he was strong in Chinese. We don't speak Chinese. The illusion held up until we sent him to a Concordia sleepaway Mandarincamp over the summer. He struggled there, with same-age classmates coming out of stronger immersion programs and from homes where some Chinese is spoken (mostly on the West Coast, or in Canada). We have no axe to grind with YY. The reality is that the program's immersion is immersion light. OP may not mind, but best to know![/quote]
