[quote=Anonymous]I have kids in Yu Ying (not 5th grade).  And I do have some qualms about an international trip for 5th graders.  We have also already taken our kids on a family trip to China, so my concerns are not all financial.

HOWEVER

To all the nay-sayers out there:

Yu Ying has accomplished a TREMENDOUS amount over the past five years, in spite of those who said they couldn't.  They fund-raised $4 million to acquire their own land, then another million to convert an existing building to a school.  Then they added a wing on the school, put in a playground, soccer field, and nature walk.  They've brought in dozens of teachers from mainland China and Taiwan, and trained them in American teaching methods.  They've added music to the curriculum and created a library.  They've attracted nationwide attention

Send a 5th grade to China?  Small potatoes.  Yu Ying regularly exceeds expectations of both its supporters and detractors.  If YY parents have the wll to take this trip, I have no doubt whatsoever they will make it happen.[/quote]
