[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know people who taught at YY and based on what they’ve told me, I’d never send my children there. [/quote]

Would you mind elaborating what the problems are related to? Is it the way that teachers treat students, in that they’re unsupportive? Or is it related to the admin and how teachers are treated? Is it the teaching methodology? Is it related to the teachers who teach Chinese, English, math, etc.? This comment is just so general that it’s impossible to discern what the issues are and whether those are things we’re willing to deal with or not bother. I’m just trying to get a better sense as it was difficult to gauge the school culture and vibe through the limited virtual open house this winter.

FWIW, I’m not looking for a perfect school that’s top notch at teaching Chinese and all other subjects, as for something close to that I should go private or move to the burbs. I’m just trying to avoid sending my child to a school where he’s going to end up being really behind in English/writing and math. If having him attend Lee is going to get him on a better trajectory with his overall learning, then I’m okay with passing on YY’s seemingly low level of Chinese teaching and put more work on teaching him Chinese at home. We are a bilingual family and one parent one language.[/quote]
