Every Chinese or Taiwanese has a lifetime to learn their mother tongue. Not a single one of them will truly fail. Even the retarded can get a modest proficiency on the verbal Chinese language. Most importantly, no one will drop out with a broken heart, self-esteem badly hurt.
On the other hand, the dropout rate for American kids from the old school Chinese language program after the first year is over 85%, with the self-confidence badly weakened. Those humility and the sense of defeat of those American kids are caused by American educators’ conscience which does not care for their suffering. Of course, they can be excused if there is no better way, or they are not informed about that better way.
Now, there is a proven better way, and they were informed about it. As this post is on the wide open World Wide Web, they are informed by this post too.
