[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I'm not a troll. I'm a Chinese-speaking parent at DCI who sees that the YY survivors aren't knocking themselves out for Mandarin. I don't hear about anybody at DCI in my kids' cohorts bothering with summer immersion. Just not happening. I know there are Spanish families who go for it at Concordia, etc Good for them. [/quote]

That’s because their goal is not fluency but maybe competency.  They might prioritize something else academically higher.

Reality is the Chinese program at DCI is also very small and take the most non-immersion kids who have absolutely no background in the language coming in.  Not to mention the percentage of native chinese families in the city is so small so of course there will not be as many native families as in the burbs.

If you want to be around more native families, you need to move to the burbs.  But you already knew that.  If your kid really is at DCI and you are not happy about it and choose not to take action, that’s on you.  It’s common knowledge the chinese program is the weakest for all the reasons above.

No dog in this fight but, whoah. You tell those Chinese-speaking immigrants where to go, PP. Tell them to get stuffed in the burbs! Bully for you.   [/quote]
