[quote=Anonymous]Okay well this derailed a bit. I guess what it boils down to for some of us is this - no, we did not specifically seek out Mandarin immersion, but we did seek out immersion because we value the benefits it brings. And the lotto landed us here and we are excited. Do we expect native fluency? No, we don't necessarily. Moving on. Other questions re YY that maybe someone currently at YY can chime in: 1. Do you feel your children receive a quality baseline elementary education, on par with a good public school, that prepares them for middle school onward? 2. Do you feel your child's English/Language arts abilities (enjoyment & interest in reading, writing ability) has suffered due to the immersion factor? 3. Does the school do a good job with specials, like art & music? 4. Are you happy with the amount of PE/recess your child receives? And, what is that amount? 5. Is it a kind/warm environment? 6. Do you feel the teachers are qualified, particularly for ECE?[/quote]
