[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is that many parents who don't speak the immersion language, or necessarily know much about the culture behind it, are threatened by those who do and, hence, don't want to see bilingual kids being given preferential treatment in the admissions process. Really too bad when you consider that academics who study bilingual immersion programs (e.g. Canadian educators looking at French programs) have found that the "two-way" immersion model, where kids learn language from one another as much as from instructors, is more effective than the "one-way" model, where kids only learn the immersion language from teachers (e.g. Yu Ying). [/quote] Bad guess. I'm a non-Chinese YY parent and I'd love to see a separate application process for native speakers. The more native speakers we can get in the classrooms, the stronger our kids' Chinese will be. [b]I do not, however, believe the law allows is[/b].[/quote] You are correct.[/quote]
