[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We turned down YY as a bilingual Chinese family because there are so few others involved, and no ethnic administrator.  The rabid YY supporters brand people like us as "haters," but we were torn because our IB school isn't be best.  We were also concerned about the strength of the English program and a hassle-filled commute with no parent-funded bus/van from our neighborhood.  Luckily, we got into an appealing nearby non-immersion charter, off the WL this week.  We only speak Chinese at home so don't feel like our kid will miss out.  Good luck figuring this one out.

umm....didn't the non-yu ying family start it? didn't see anything from yy people on this thread until this person got nasty---and I'm not from yy or a supporter.....

This isn't being nasty, this is answering the question.  They didn't choose the immersion school because:  (1) there are few Chinese;
(2) the administrator is not ethnic;
(3) they were concerned about the strength of the English program;
(4) the commute would have been bad; and,
(5) the child has other opportunities to learn the target language. 
PP also implied that they did not like the attitude of the vocal pp supporters.

The answer was completely responsive.  The YY supporter proved the point about the attitude by deciding this was a fight.  Not everything is a fight.  That attitude is so detrimental to the reputation of the school, and it seems that you don't even get it.  Please don't come on every thread and throw vitriol when it is isn't the least bit responsive to the question posed, it makes your school look terrible.[/quote]
