[quote=Anonymous]I am one of the Chinese Americans who is a PP. I don't understand why there should be a special preference for Cantonese. This is a Mandarin immersion school. If you want your kids to learn Cantonese, then send them to a Cantonese school! I also think the presence of too many bilingual/Cantonese speakers can make it much harder for non-native speakers to learn the language. At least this was my college Chinese experience: all the Cantonese/Japanese/assimilated kids whose parents spoke Mandarin at home drove out all the white kids except those who already knew a little Mandarin.
