So Yu Ying came knocking to get the support of the Chinese community and they sent them away for racist reasons?

As for lobbying the Council, it's enough to try to get funding parity with failing DC schools.  On top of that you think YY should pursue policies to get more of the Chinese community involved, where you admit the Chinese community isn't interested?

I'm a white YY parent who will give the school another year to see if the English instruction improves.  Hurrah for the ABC posters who tell it like it is.  We haven't heard nearly enough from them until recently.

As things stand, why in the world would the Chinese community be very interested?

I don't like the fact that there are only 2 or 3 bilingual children (speaking any Chinese dialect) in my DC's grade.  I'm at YY because I got lucky in the lottery (after striking out in a dozen others), my IB school sucks, and I can't afford to move, not because I'm convinced that the value-added ethnic Chinese community is welcome there.

The more you beat on Chinese parents for diplomatically explaining where they're coming from for the benefit of the rest of us, the more you help cut off YY's nose to spite its face.  Cut it out, grow up or just go away.  It seems that most of them already have. Sigh.
