			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I read this article in New York Times a few month back and did not get time to comment on it, here is the link to the article: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/21/education/21chinese.html?hp </p>
<p>Article states, &#8220;Among America’s approximately 27,500 middle and high schools offering at least one foreign language, the proportion offering Chinese rose to 4 percent, from 1 percent, from 1997 to 2008, according to the survey, which was done by the Center for Applied Linguistics, a research group in Washington, and paid for by the federal Education Department.&#8221;  If your kids are attending the rest 96% of the middle and high schools which do not offer Chinese as foreign language, come to us.  Learning Chinese Online has proven to be the best way to learn the language.  If your kids are attending the 4% which offers Chinese as foreign lanuage, we can provide Chinese tutors for kids so they can truely master the langauge. </p>
<p>We offer Colledge Board audited AP Chinese classes online in a small group setting also.  Yet,before your kid can enrolled in AP Chinese class, they need to have intermedia Chinese to be able to take the class and pass the AP Exam in May.  Start them in elementary school or middle school so they are ready to takw AP Chinese class, which will surpass AP German to become the third foreign language learned by US K-12 students. </p>
