[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What those handing out awards don't know, or perhaps care, is that YY kids try to speak English to their Chinese teachers about half the time. Our Chinese au pair discovered this when she recently volunteered in an upper grades YY class for several days straight. The teachers from China do their best to force them to speak Mandarin in Chinese class, but it's a tough sell with only 1 or 2 fully bilingual native-speaking kids per grade. Yea, per grade, not per class. [/quote] I think the lack of native speakers has been well-covered on these boards. The City Paper "Best of" awards are reader's choice. There is no doubt that YY parents are overall extremely happy with their school. [b]It's lovely that your au pair is volunteering; I'm sure it's helpful to get other Chinese speakers into the classroom[/b].[/quote] Agree completely. What a nice thing to do![/quote]
