1) China is fast becoming the economic world leader. Although sometimes we don't want to admit it money does make our "world-go-round". Don't you want your children to be able to communicate effectively with this "hungry" nation?
With China's recent economic explosion, it's a necessity to at least have the skills needed to work with this culture. Major companies are looking for people who can help them communicate and establish themselves in China. We all realize it is better to prepare yourself for what the economy is demanding verses what we wish it to be (Business 101).
2) The "kids" who can communicate with the people of this region will have a competitive edge not only in the job market when they graduate but will be identified by selection committees for entrance to universities as being "motivated, on-top, and realistic".
The best way for kids to take the lead and stand out amongst their peers is by being useful in non-traditional qualifications. Your kids can establish themselves in this thriving and highly competitive atmosphere of college selection boards. Just ask any school guidance counselor, a kid has to have more than good grades to get into their first choice school.
I personally know so many kids who are great kids, well-behaved, smart, have great grades (top 10%), and are even taking advance, college level courses and are not able to get into their own state school. If you really want to offer your kids the best opportunity to get their foot in the door to recognizing his/her goals and making their opportunities happen then you will offer them the skill that will make the difference....Learning Chinese!
