My girls didn't learn a whole lot new about Chinese culture, because they attend Chinese school and learned similar things there. Some of the new things they can't remember (like new songs, words, etc.) But what they don't articulate, but I really think they feel at some level, is that this is the one place where they are among a LOT of kids who are like them... born in one culture and raised in another.

Something the article completely misses is encouraging the child to make friends with someone from his or her culture or, better yet, make friends as a family. There's a difference between learning "about" and learning through, with, or beside.
