[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they are behind in DCI, they were behind at their HRCS. The continuation of the target language is the draw. [/b]Why waste six years of language instruction, especially in Mandarin which is a hard language. [/quote][

Every parent I know who has decided to send their child to a different middle school, past and currently, has continued or will continue with Mandarin education for their children. What makes you think we would not for our children? Before DCI, which is only in its first year of operation, we had continuation plans beyond Yu Ying. [/quote]

Not everyone is as well-resourced (i.e. wealthy) as you.  Many whose kids currently attend Yu Ying would have ZERO options for continuing Mandarin for free, at that level, if our kids didn't go to DCI.  So bravo for you that you have that option, but perhaps if you broke out of your apparently selective group a little, you'd meet plenty of parents who would not have that option.  The PP you're responding to apparently knows a wider range of parents than you and your friends.[/quote]

Not buying this. Hope Chinese School is cheaper than a pair of Lebrons. Parents don't have a problem affording those. [/quote]
