[quote=Anonymous]For what it's worth, your child wouldn't be one of only a handful of bilingual kids in the school, just one of only a handful of Cantonese speaking kids. In my child's pre-K class of 18, one-third of the kids have at least one parent who grew up speaking a language other than English, and four of those six kids speak a foreign language at home at least some of the time. (These 4 don't include kids whose parents are American but know Mandarin and use it with their kids at least sometimes.) I don't know that this 1/3 bilingual parent, 2/9 bilingual kid ratio is common across the school--I sort of doubt it is, although I'm certainly aware of several other bilingual kids in PK. [/quote]
