[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a clue.  You can make Chinese au pairs work if you choose wisely, train them carefully (including to drive better) and can afford them.

At YY, it's just not difficult to tell which families host au pairs when you speak Chinese to the kids.[/quote]

Well not everyone cam afford an au pair, Susan! Not everyone wants a total stranger living in their home and taking care of their children. [/quote]

+1, privileged PP ignores that MANY families cannot easily afford an au pair.  And many others can't easily host an au pair given space/logistics.[/quote]

Right, so the kids' Chinese isn't good relative to that of the families who host au pairs year in and year out, at least where parents require au pairs to ensure that kids answer Chinese with Chinese. You may or may not mind that the au pair-less YY kids speak poorly compared to those with au pairs, but that's the reality of the situation.  Wish things were different.[/quote]
