[quote=Anonymous]Clearing my throat. Cough, cough. DCI needs to stop worrying about their feeder schools MS and simply concentrate on a middle school for all children. You cannot be serious. For all you people who talk nastily and vilify YU Ying for doing something none of us have attempted are disgusting. Good, bad, or indifferent, DCI is the brain child of th YY founders. They approached the other schools. Some will participate. I suspect others will not. DCI, like YY was founded by a group of parents. Not a corporation like Kipp or IT, and not an established program like Basis.  YY was founded by parents. Why would these parents who founded an ES not be interested in seeing the next level of advancement for their children, and all others who would like to join.

For all the naysayers on this board about YY and the possibility of DCI, if you think you can do a better job, why don't you create your own school from the bottom up. You can hire the teachers you want. You can hire the administrators you want. You can establish the hours of operation and the curriculum. Go find your financial backers and building. The only thing you cannot do is self select your student body minus the exception for founders kids and siblings.

I just don't understand all the negative attacks when any one of you can create your own YY or DCI if you have the stomach for the growing pains. I write this as someone who has issues with aspects of YY, but recognize it is a work in process from dedicated parents who sought something different and better for their children.  Many of the parents who founded the school could have home schooled or had the financial means to go private. Instead, they offered an alternative of DCPS to many students who did not have options.
