[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi Op, I only read a few pages of this thread (did not have time to read it entirely) and had to write to apologize for all of the very rude people who responded!

My child is in an immersion program and you can bet that if I had to relocate, I would try my hardest to get him into another immersion school!  I personally do not understand why you cannot test an enter into a higher grade (provided you got in via lottery) - this seems very unfair.   I imagine that if a YY parent had to move to another state they would also try to do the same.

I just want to say that you are certainly not asking anything unreasonable and I wish you luck in your search!  Please come back to update us![/quote]

I keep reading this thread, because I am hopeful that other immersion parents will share their experiences.  I don't think that very many parents understand the intricacies associated with immersion education.  My desire to continue the language is akin to traditional education parents wanting their children to maintain on grade level instruction in English, Math and Science.  It is not my intention to deprive another family of immersion education, but to satisfy my child's educational needs.  Any parent should be able to do that.

Thank you for your input!

My heart goes out to you--we're a YY family who were facing a move a few years ago, and the idea of sending our offspring to a school that didn't offer Mandarin seemed like such a dishonoring of years of amazing work.

But your answer regarding YY is: you can explore the possibility of doing the YY lottery to enroll your child to repeat 2nd grade, or you can do private school, or you can give up your dream of living in the city and research Mandarin immersion in MoCo, MD. Your desire to continue your child's Mandarin education is admirable, but YY's hands are tied. The legal reasons for that (and the spectacular DCUM fight over the reasons for those rules) has basically nothing to do with your question.[/quote]
