[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again. From this thread it seems like the challenge with YY is learning English rather than Chinese, and parents should supplement with English.[/quote] [b]The research is pretty clear that bilingual education improves learning in the native language.[/b] There are literally hundreds of peer reviewed studies proving this. Could YY in particular improve ELA instruction? Probably . The PP whose kid went from YY to a top private and needed added writing instruction would probably have had the same problem coming out of Murch. The one advantage privates have over publics is that the small class sizes let teachers assign and grade a lot more essays.[/quote] Agree with this and would just add that I believe the research shows that there is often an initial lag in language development for kids who start out with two languages, but then the kids typically catch up and even surpass monolingual counterparts.[/quote]
