[quote=Anonymous]Reading these posts, it is obvious that to some extent, what Chinese families are looking for in a bilingual school is different from what non-Chinese families are. Parents with one Chinese parent and one Western parent are also have slightly different concerns. Some of this came out in the discussion about the class trip -- people either saw it is an incredible opportunity to see the place the kids have studied for 5 years, or an annoying distraction that poorly replicates trips they've already taken. I'm all for allowing kids to test into the school in Chinese, and all for a rigorous Chinese program that pushes the kids hard to excel. And I do wonder about parents who would their kids to YY yet be ignorant about Chinese cultural and dialects. Why do they bother sending their kids to YY, and how on earth do they check the homework when the have no clue about the language? But all that said -- I love Yu Ying.[/quote]
