I have read this report in 2008 when our online Chinese school was in its infancy.  Now, after 3 years of explosive growth in student counts, Chinese lessons delivered, and AP courses offered, we have proved beyond the reasonable doubt that learning Chinese online is the most effective and efficient way to increase geographic coverage of US K-12 schools offering Chinese langauge classes.  To educating the next generation of US population, especially during these trying times, while regular teachers are getting more furlough days; the affordable, quality, and online Chinese langauge education is the best and least we should offer to our children.
