[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]how on earth do they check the homework [/b]when the have no clue about the language?

But all that said -- I love Yu Ying.[/quote]

Tutor baby.  BTW-  How do high academically achieving non-English speaking immigrants check their children's homework.  They find a way.  [/quote]
