Totally agree. Between DCUM and the PA list serve, I don't need any more drama. Hilarious!

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Strange. I thought it was 350+ children who are learning to speak Chinese from native Chinese speakers. I don't think we're talking about the same school.

As a parent I really appreciate your effort to rewrite history. Very Chinese and all that.

In addressing your post would it be wrong to say "Very black and all that"?


How racist are you? "very Chinese and all that"? Wow. I feel sorry for your kid(s).

Yu Ying families are ready to step up and take care of each other. This is a nice community, I'm not surprised to have a happy ending.
