First, let me tell that I am for or against Chinese school. But I want to ask you ladies and gentlemen some questions since so many chatters here are talking about it.
1. Are you still Chinese citizen or American citizen or are going to be American citizen?
2. If you prefer to be American citizen, is Chinese or Chinese culture that important to your kids?
3. Does anyone in America nowadays really care much who you are, but what you are?
4. If America is become worse, for instance economically for whatever reason, do you or your kids want to go back to China and become Chinese citizens or can you and your kids do it?
5. Who is more likely successful in America, more Americanized or more Chinese mentalized Chinese American?
6. If Chinese and Chinese culture is that good and necessary, why do you come to America and why America is richer and better than China? Do you think that it would be easy and convenient to study Chinese and Chinese culture in China?
7. Do you think that would be much better if you try your very best to be just American? Anyway you want to stay in America; at least you want your kids to stay in America, am I right?
8. I know that a lot of Chinese Americans would love to say China is bad here and there. But why do you like to gather together again at a so-called Chinese school since you don’t need to or have to?
9. I know China has super market and knowing Chinese and Chinese culture may help kids’ career. But don’t you think that your kids’ career starts in America not in China? And America will offer more opportunities more than any country in the world?
10. Should kids make more friends rather than just Chinese, for instance, have more friends of whites, blacks, Hispanics, Indians, Koreans, Japanese, etc? Is that really good to circle your kids just in Chinese community every weekend?
11. Is it true that Chinese is more time consuming and difficult to learn than other languages? If it is, why you force your kids and waste so much time to learn it? For what?
12. What is the big deal if your kids don’t know Chinese or Chinese culture if you think above questions well?
13. The final but very important question, should the kids love America better and more than China? I ask this question because I have to whenever we are talking about Chinese school. You know that some Chinese Americans would love to say that those who don’t want their kids to study Chinese forget their roots. That’s not necessarily true at all. For instance, I have no plan to ask my kids to study Chinese, but if you come to my home and you will see that I love China dearly and my kids have a great passion and love to China.
Finally, if you like your kids go to Chinese school, then go to Chinese school. You just don’t go to if you really do feel it is necessary. I don’t know much about Chinese school though I live in very large metropolitan. But I’ve heard a lot about it. It seems that Chinese school needs some improvements.
