[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yea, but it's still a fake immersion school, cozy and stable, but phony. Ten years in, there are still only a handful of truly bilingual Chinese-speaking kids enrolled, of more than 500 students. If YY were so hot at teaching Mandarin (or English or math), DC native speakers who don't speak English to their kids would be trying desperately to lottery in. Not the case. Having non-Chinese speaking admins Chinese teachers openly run down (in their dialects) and gang up on didn't work for us. Solid admins, right, right.

-Naturalized US citizen father who bailed on YY (although kids were the best Chinese speaker in the lower grades, by a long shot) and never looked back.[/quote]

LOL!  You're funny!

But hey, since you seem to want to be taken seriously, please do us all a favor and cite that official definition of "real immersion school" that you obviously are privy to and share with us the official criteria by which a school is assessed as either "real" or "phony/fake".

Or else we'll all know you are sharing your opinion - which you have every right to do - but that it's ONLY an opinion and not based on any legitimate measure that you can point to that proves your point.  You don't even have any data about graduating student performance in Mandarin assessment tests because I don't think any of that is available yet.

But you do sound like you love the sound of your own opinions which you state as fact, so please, do share the actual source for this official definition of "real vs. phony immersion schools".  We'll just be sitting here holding our collective breath...  :lol: [/quote]
