Rui Ma(@ruima):You know, you would think so, but this is exactly the kind of pod I plan to start for my kids, and it's very difficult to get interest. I'd be trying to benchmark to native-level fluency Chinese and close to China-level math, which is quite a bit harder than American grade levels. Maybe I just need a better marketing scheme? Or @Alphaschool you can fund me to run your first bilingual Chinese program

i keep telling people, if you want to start the next hot school in SF, start alpha school + mandarin immersion. in the morning do regular alpha school (in english) plus a chinese class. then in the afternoon do all the regular extra curricular and life skills stuff but all in chinese. charge 100k and it’d still get the chinese/chinese-adjacent families at all the big labs.
