It has saddened me to read this often nasty back-and-forth. I wonder how many people would be able to say these things if we faced each other in real life, with our children by our sides. What kind of role model are we providing?

It seems to that there is a huge divide between people fleeing their lousy in-boundary schools, for which Mandarin is really an afterthought, and those who have a real connection to Mandarin and Chinese culture.

And that these two groups are so defensive (well, one group) and at each other's throat when in fact aren't we all trying to provide a safe environment for a high quality education for our children? Just because you raise questions, challenge, try to improve a situation doesn't mean that you are against it. Quite the contrary, right? We don't bother to try and improve the things we don't care about.

I wanted my child to go there because of the Mandarin not because I have no other options. But that's just where I'm coming from.
