Bro lay, (somehow this name sounds a little funny :) if you know i mean)
I want to talk on this topic as well. I remember I used to talk about the difference on the two cultures long time ago in this forum.
When bro box keeps on insisting on having little kids learning chinese language and confusius teaching, i am a little concerned. America is the continuation of western civilization. there are a lot of ideas and thinkings taught in this country are direct conflict of eastern cultures and heritage. kids can be totally confused if exposed a lot of these chinese "stuff".
That is why i kept saying that we teach the essence or the core values of chinese heritage. and we must do it tactically and sensitively. that's why i keep saying learning chinese language is not that critical. we will definitely try to comment more when you talk about the nitty-gritty later on...
