[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting. Most of the parents I know do not have au pairs or tutors. Some use Chinese apps and movies. The school makes a real effort to provide supplemental materials - Chinese reading apps, aftercare choices in Chinese, etc. that are free. I teach myself the three and four skilled characters and drill my kids myself. There are also camps and weekend classes that are not free, but certainly not as pricey as tutoring or as involved as an au pair.[/quote] +1. Same and DS is entering 4th grade. Neither of us know Mandarin and it's fine. We figure if DS did not go to YY, his knowledge of Mandarin would be zero nevermind a bad accent. :lol: DH and I are both bilingual so the only common language in our household is English. We figure any weaknesses in DS's mandarin will be easily correctable after a summer and/or semester aboard in China when he is older. [/quote] Want to add that we are very happy with YY's curriculum and how they handle differentiation. DS is 2 grade levels above in English and Math and the school handles it well. Also, they have been very supportive and accommodating about his extracurricular activity in which he excels and competes nationally.[/quote]
