[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, no chance. I'm a native Chinese speaker who's watched Yu Ying closely for years, so I know that they're still struggling on many levels. They can't do dual/two-way immersion in this city, and many of their teachers (both from China and the US) aren't very experienced. Few in the YY community want to hear it, but many of the students only speak and understand a little Chinese after years in the program. I can't imagine Miner doing a good job with Mandarin, not when the poor Tyler Spanish Immersion parents can't even get DCPS to set up a verticially integrated MS program. The outlays for Mandarin at Miner could be considerable, and the enthusiasm great, without much in the way of results. But the odd Miner kid with home Chinese inputs would still do fine. We're leaning toward MoCo in search of greener pastures. [/quote]
