[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's so interesting about these threads is that while some may be raising concerns truly because they just care about the quality of DC education, it's so incredibly obvious that those who commit time over and over again to slamming these specific aspects of a school like Yu Ying are doing so because they have something to prove, some personal "wrong" that they are trying to "right".

Because sane, level-headed people who truly don't have a dog in the fight understand the difference between arguing about best practice and what is preferable, and how that can be achieved under the current rules, or they talk about how to change the rules.  They do not return to the same complaints thread after thread after thread and keep trying to "will into reality" rules or priorities that are either not available or not preferable to those most directly affected (the staff and families at the school).

It's not apples or organges; it's pure sour grapes.  And it is so odd.[/quote]

What it comes down to is that some Chinese people want an edge in admissions since the language taught is Mandarin.  They feel it's an entitlement.[/quote]

You're behind the times on this one, mate.  Five years ago, maybe, for a few.  Chinese immigrants are not in fact known for their sense of entitlement.  Their tendency is to work very hard, push their kids to enter professions, keep to themselves, and that's about it.
