Attorney Li Yusheng of Fidelity Law Firm stated that the judge believed that although the kindergarten's advertisement billboards touted "All-American," this is a common advertising phrase for English-speaking kindergartens. Furthermore, the contract between the parties did not explicitly stipulate that all courses would be taught in English. Therefore, the judge deemed the parents' claim unfounded. However, since the advertisement used "All-American," it could still mislead the general public into believing that the kindergarten offered all-English instruction, potentially constituting misleading advertising. Therefore, the judge's opinion may differ from public perception. If the parents disagree with the ruling, they can appeal to the second instance court for redress.
