[quote=Anonymous][/quote][/quote][/quote] Great you're ABC and part of ABC culture...  I'm the other Asian person, born and raised partially there, at the beginning of the thread.  Have many ABC friends but have no desire to have DC learn from ABCs.  You know you are not considered "Chinese" by those born and raised in China but Americans - and no matter what you want to believe, your accent is "off". [/quote]

Depends on how assimilated your family is, and how strong family ties to China remain.  My grandparents and uncles never left.  And my mother's English is still so weak that we kids only communicate with her in Chinese.  My cousins in China don't tease me about my accent, they tease me about the size of my vocabulary.  Whatever the case, we felt seriously Chinese around the YY parents and still don't get why the school doesn't have Chinese administrators to help draw in Chinese-speaking parents.  Not sure what sort of learning you refer to - granted, we aren't the ones to learn Mandarin from.
