[quote=Anonymous]The tyranny of low expectations guides your thinking, PP. You've set up a false dichotomy - a binary choice between a program which wholeheartedly rejects best practices in immersion instruction and failing in-boundary school. Why not aim higher, at least in your thinking about options, including those you can work to create? We left YY because admins clearly didn't have a clue about what they were doing with "immersion," among other things. Yes, it was a cozy, eye-pleasing, pleasantly diverse school. But the Chinese wasn't being taught well, and the rest of the program was merely passable. We're New Yorkers, magnet high school grads, used to better quality public school offerings. We bailed for a strong in-boundary DCPS EotP (that's right), home schooling in Chinese (one of us is a native speaker), and MoCo heritage school where immersion really works. We don't hate YY, we just weren't impressed.[/quote]
