[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The main question you might want to ask yourself is how serious are you about Mandarin and Chinese culture.  Could and would you provide appropriate inputs at home over the years -DVDs, Chinese-speaking au pair/babysitters, Chinese-speaking family friends, immersion summer camps, and trips to Chinese-speaking countries?

If you aren't serious, with the immersion ending at 5th grade, and little Mandarin spoken in DC, maybe not.  If you speak Mandarin fluently, you're not going to be bowled over by the utterances of YY kids without a Chinese-speaking adult in the home, but the language instruction is still pretty good.  The rest of the curriculum is average and the school community seems warm to those who don't raise their voices in opposition.

Apparently, these observations make us haters.  But if Mandarin is your big thing, you will cheerfully weather it all.

Seriously, get over yourself!  Most of us do NOT read a post like this and see you as a "hater"!  There are posters who obviously have axes to grind, and they do seem like haters, but your posts (and many of your past posts, judging from what you say here) do not seem like hating.  There are several YY parents who lament the lack of responsiveness (or enough responsiveness) to concerns expressed by parents to the Administration.

Those sound like legit concerns, and it is getting EXHAUSTING reading you and others talking about how you can't say that without being attacked.  Who is attacking you???  You sound paranoid and that's just bizarre, but your YY criticisms sound very reasonable.[/quote]
