[quote=Anonymous]Most public charter Chinese immersion schools in other parts of the country like Yu Ying do not give preferences to native speakers and/or to kids with prior knowledge of Mandarin b/c it's against the law to discriminate. Most, in fact, have to allow kids with no prior Chinese to enter and enroll for all grades, not just til 2nd like Yu Ying, if they happen to win the lottery. Everyone (including native speakers) has to apply and take their chances in the lottery. See Yinghua academy in MN, Pioneer Valley Chinese Immersion school in MA, the Chinese immersion public schools in San Francisco, San Diego, etc. If you want a school that gives preferences for native speakers, you should go private. There is a very good one in Princeton, New Jersey.[/quote]
