[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's odd to me is how complacent parents who should know better can be.  One of the most engaging threads on DCUM in the last few months was the one asking "Are We All Kidding Ourselves in DC?"  Absent was the usual tiresome boosting.

Come on, well-meaning admins who can hardly speak any Chinese running a Mandarin immersion school? [b]Chinese-speaking students welcome in name only?[/b]  This is really the best YY can ever do?  It can't be.

Yu Ying welcomes all students regardless of heritage and background if they are lucky to get in through the lottery.  Many of us think this is good thing...  and if it results in some Chinese-speaking kids not getting in, so be it.[/quote]

It is a good thing.  Because it was set up to serve the residents of DC.  All of them.  And all are really and truly welcome.  When students who already speak Chinese get in, it is a boost and great thing for the school.  But DC public charters should be available to anyone who lucks in through the lottery.  [/quote]
