[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know about English instruction simply b/c our child was in PreK which was full immersion Mandarin.  I'll admit, however, that DC gets tutoring in English, Math, and Mandarin.  English and math b/c we would be doing it anyway no matter which school DC attended including the pricy private we turned down for YY and Mandarin b/c it's important to us.

I only mention this b/c I meet LOTS of immersion kids at our tutors.  Not only Mandarin, mostly from Maryland public immersion schools not YY, Spanish and French from all over.  Most if not all of the parents are 1st gen or immigrants themselves and highly educated professionals.  Looks like many people feel their kids may need a boost if they attend an immersion program.[/quote]

My kids are at WIS, and I only know a few kids who do Kumon math (probably the same number as from any DC private school, none of which have fantastic math programs), and none who have private tutoring. The exception is weekend language school in a third or fourth language not covered at WIS (Swedish, German, Japanese, etc.), which is done by many families so that their children can keep up with the home or parent's/parents' language.[/quote]
