[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]

Well, you should have thought of that before you chose YY.  If you cannot afford a Mandarin speaking au pair, then your children will speak inferior Mandarin.  The End.[/quote]

+100. Exactly. YY parents can choose to believe that their kids will benefit enormously from the YY curriculum w/out a native speaking adult in the home, but it ain't the case.

That's simply the way one way immersion programs like YY work. We can pretend that things are otherwise, hysterically calling PPs names for stating the truth, but it won't change this calculus.

The name calling is because previous posters  are replying with rude and condescending answers.  I guess because they are priviledged, I'm required supposed to sit back and be quiet? Not today, satan. NOT TODAY!! [/quote]
