[quote=Anonymous]Yea, silly to offer immersion without continuity, there's the rub. Where's the continuity going to come from for the majority of the YY families? They don't have Chinese-speaking friends or ties to an ethnic Chinese community, know little about the culture, and haven't lived, worked or even traveled independently in Chinese-speaking countries. The school doesn't connect the YY students to groups of Chinese-speaking peers in this Metro area. In 15 or 20 years, some academic is going to do a study finding that most of the YY kids no longer speak Chinese at all (even bad Chinese). [/quote]
