[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're full of it. The Amherst MA school knocks itself out to attract and retain local native speakers. A college friend, a Cantonese-speaker, is an administrator there. She troops around to places where Chinese families gather in Western Mass trying to drum up interest. The school freely allows bilingual kids to replace drop-outs, just like the MoCo schools and others we've visited in San Fran and NYC. The bottom line is that YY is popular, and works for the families it attracts (those not raising their kids bilingual). They're not shooting for the stars where the cultural and language component goes. It's good enough for DC in 2014, no matter who does or doesn't write in. [/quote] No. Everyone has to enter through the lottery and they cannot give preferences to kids who already know Chinese. I asked them b/c we are moving there and my kid knows Chinese and will be entering in upper elementary. It's in Hadley, BTW, not Amherst.[/quote]
