[quote=Anonymous]Some of these arguments don't really resonate with what I have observed. I know a number of Chinese families residing in DC, and they are really trying to get their kids into Yu Ying, largely because they have the standard problem that many immigrants in the US have. They speak Mandarin at home, but once their kids hit pre-school, the kids switched to English almost entirely. The parents don't feel they can maintain the Mandarin without peer support. I grew up in California, and the weekly heritage language schools that my Asian-American friends attended resulted in about 0% of them actually speaking the language, so I'm not sure my friends regard those as a viable option, and most are in MoCo anyway.
