[quote=Anonymous]The aftercare is a huge fundraiser for the school. It funds most of the extras that you see at Yu Ying that you don't see at other schools. Money has to come from somewhere. It just so happens that the former ED, who is now heading the DCI initiative, is a very shrewd businesswoman. The bubble year of kids was a crucial part of that business plan and she makes no secret about it. Personally, I didn't think the bubble year made good educational and programming sense, but they pulled it off and did it well. Regarding supplies: every school asks for parents to get their kids supplies. It was the PA plus the administration who decided to do a supply fee after the first year. The school doesn't profit from lunch, so I'm not sure how that factors into the discussion. High quality food is what the parents wanted, so they sought a high quality vendor.[/quote]
