[quote=Anonymous]I think what some of the first PPs were saying is that there's not much point to have your kids learn Mandarin if you don't also support it at home, so that they actually master the language. Otherwise just consider how much time they'll spend on something that then they won't really be able to use. For some people, who don't have a better school option, that's fine, but with more effort/interest, it is possible to gain (and more rarely hold on to) fluency. Also consider whether you have other kids and how that will affect the younger kids' path. Is your current school already far away from where you live? With YY, the other students are scattered throughout the city, and that might be a consideration. And, although this is probably least of your concern, it is true that some parents REALLY REALLY want a spot for their kids, and are hoping that people like you would walk away. :) (Not at YY, my kids didn't get in, but know several YY families.)
