[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They come off as not being committed to Chinese because most of them aren't. For example, while we've never allowed DS to watch kids entertainment in English unless it's a special occasion, we seemed to be one of very few families in our kid's grade with that policy. Plenty of high ses YuYing families with piles of kids DVDs at home have few, or none, dubbed into Mandarin. They don't even buy all-region DVD players (available at Walmart, cheap). I don't know too many YY families who go out of their way to ensure that their children speak Mandarin to native speakers in this country, especially kids their age. We weren't impressed.[/quote] I don't believe that plenty of high SES families have piles of DVDs in 2017.[/quote] I was about to say the same thing! Who has a DVD player anymore?? :lol: [/quote]
