[quote=Anonymous]OP, OK, but does YY know who to pluck? They pluck kids whose parents who call administrators reporting that Mandarin is spoken at home? How is Chinese proficiency or fluency verified? Through backdoor meetings with the Mandarin-speaking vice principal, kid in tow? They only pluck Mandarin-speaking kids? Other dialects won't do the job, although kids who speak dialects can learn Mandarin much faster and more easily than kids who speak no Chinese? A friend's kids attend a Mandarin immersion school in NYC where a kid's name goes into a lottery for Chinese speakers only after getting through a short interview in one of half a dozen major dialects. NYC Mandarin immersion schools don't particularly care if the parents are ethnic; they care if the kid speaks Chinese pretty well. [/quote]
