[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a clue.  You can make Chinese au pairs work if you choose wisely, train them carefully (including to drive better) and can afford them.

At YY, it's just not difficult to tell which families host au pairs when you speak Chinese to the kids.[/quote]

Well not everyone cam afford an au pair, Susan! Not everyone wants a total stranger living in their home and taking care of their children. [/quote]

+1, privileged PP ignores that MANY families cannot easily afford an au pair.  And many others can't easily host an au pair given space/logistics.[/quote]

Exactly. I notice that there's a lot of privileged assholes in this forum. They [b]sit back and talk crap[/b] and judge people anonymously. [/quote]

DOn't agree.  PPs are using common sense to connect the dots. W/out a native speaker in the home, immersion language study doesn't go very well. YY admins won't tell you this, but those of us who host au pairs at YY (dozens of us) know it.

Talk to other parents if you doubt this.  I wouldn't choose immersion study if I didn't speak the language (I do not) AND couldn't afford to host au pairs given space/resources/logistics.  I'm hardly alone on this score at YY.[/quote]

So why am I not seeing the same negative nasty comments in threads that talk about other schools with language immersion programs? LIKE I SAID, I've been reading a lot on this forum for months, and there are many rude and bitchy men and women on here!! Its fine to speak up and give your opinion, but there's no need to be a rude judgmental, snobby, privleged BITCH when doing so. All that "sit back and enjoy the koolaid" is some BS. I SAID WHAT I SAID!! [/quote]

Please DO NOT delete this thread it is GOLD. I’m loving it. [/quote]
