[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]

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]

Who TF do you think you are? You should've thought before you commented. Another bitch perched at her computer, ready to spew some foolishness. There's no law that says that she cannot put her child into a LI program, because she can't afford an au pair. You people are disgusting, vile humans![/quote]

I didn’t say that there was a law against her foolishly enrolling her child in a Mandarin immersion program with no at-home support.  I said that her child, and other similarly situated children, will speak inferior Mandarin (if they retain the language at all). I stand firmly behind my statement.

With your nasty mouth, I would be surprised if your child has mastered English.[/quote]

Even if dc speaks inferior Chinese, s/he will still be speaking it. Therr is something to be said for the process of learning another language being beneficial in and of itself. It opens synapses in the. Roam and makes learning other languages easier in the future. It’s jot always purely about mandarin fluency. [/quote]
