[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any strong HS student who studies Chinese for a few years can score a 4 or 5 on AP Chinese. More than 80% of AP Chinese test takers earn 5s, the greatest percentage of any AP test. Really no need to bother with 50% Chinese immersion in ES and partial immersion in MS to get there.

Communicating in polite tones in English just isn't the strong suit of East Asian immigrants to this country. The great majority missed the Civil Rights Movement and don't understand institutionalized racism. They have many redeeming features though, particularly pragmatism, a strong work ethnic, and high levels of educational attainment as families, no matter where they start on the socioeconomic ladder.[/quote]

If you're an unrepentant racist, you have NO redeeming features.  [/quote]

I concur, no redeeming features. So why put your kids in a 50% immersion language program to learn the language of hordes of racist bastards?

There's a cultural disconnect issue at play that can be studied, deconstructed and understood. Or you can leave things at calling calling Chinese immigrants unrepentant racists.[/quote]

My children attend Oyster (thank God!).  I read all language immersion threads, and felt compelled to comment on this post.  Current YY parents:  you have really dodged a bullet by keeping families like the PP out.  I would take so-so Mandarin any day over sharing space with such distasteful people.[/quote]

If these people are calling you distasteful, you might need to rethink what you've been posting. [/quote]
