[quote=Anonymous]It doesn't make sense to me because:
A) The children in the non immersion classroom are being taught the SAME content as the children in the immersion classroom. (For some things, they are all being taught together) The caveat for this is they are not being taught the Chinese aspect of it for the same amount of time.  (characters, speaking, reading in Chinese-the still get a number of hours of instruction)
B) No, I don't believe that NOT learning as much Chinese is a "Structure that will create inequality". Chinese is fluff--not necessary to get by in the US.

If we were in China, stopping Chinese language instruction to a track of kids would create a structure of inequality. If Yu Ying decided to stop English instruction I would agree with you--this is not the case.

Are you really arguing that kids who can study Chinese (but aren't immersed for 2.5 days) are trapped? 
I studied Spanish through high school and got taught it 3 times a week for 45 minutes--my life wasn't ruined because I wasn't immersed in for 2.5 days a week.
