[quote=Anonymous]I don't agree with 13:58's whole assessment-- I do agree with part.  The part I do agree with is that Many parents get into Yu Ying because it is the best of their choices (compared to poor DCPS options or other charter lottery choices)--safe; active parent body; nice facility; nice peer group, etc.  They are interested in language and culture and are trying the best they can for their kids.  This doesn't necessarily mean they are into Chinese culture, into learning Chinese for the long haul, have a connection to China, etc. There are many immigrants from non Asian backgrounds as well. There is a group of parents (both Chinese and non Chinese) who do have direct connections to China but they are a smaller group than your larger group just trying to educate their kid in a decent way while living in the city.

I hope they school continually works on their outreach to the Chinese community, but think they have so many other pressing issues that it takes a back seat.  Finding a building, working on a middle school, trying to work on instruction, etc. etc.

I'm glad that my kids are learning Chinese and I don't expect them to be fluent or have a good accent.  It is a hell of lot better than having them attend my inbound school which is in the bottom 5 performers citywide.
