[quote=Anonymous]The main question you might want to ask yourself is how serious are you about Mandarin and Chinese culture. Could and would you provide appropriate inputs at home over the years -DVDs, Chinese-speaking au pair/babysitters, Chinese-speaking family friends, immersion summer camps, and trips to Chinese-speaking countries? If you aren't serious, with the immersion ending at 5th grade, and little Mandarin spoken in DC, maybe not. If you speak Mandarin fluently, you're not going to be bowled over by the utterances of YY kids without a Chinese-speaking adult in the home, but the language instruction is still pretty good. The rest of the curriculum is average and the school community seems warm to those who don't raise their voices in opposition. Apparently, these observations make us haters. But if Mandarin is your big thing, you will cheerfully weather it all. [/quote]
