PP you quoted here. I agree. Which is why my children don't go there.

You as a family can take your own kids on spring break etc.

I'm sure the NY Chinatown trip will offer a good educational experience.

The school will partner up with various businesses in order to give the students a verbal and hands on experience with Chinese culture.

This is a great relief for the parents of the school.

It doesn't apply to this year. They've done it for 3 years (this year included) and it has been constant strife and stress for the school community.

does it apply for this year??

How many years did they do the trip to china?

Chinatown NYC vs Beijing. Wow.

Never mind... email lag.

THANK GOD!
