[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After all this I think OP has probably fully embraced CMI. [/quote]

Doubt it, she sounds like the sort of parent who wants YY for the warm and diverse community, safe environment etc.  A little cultural "exposure" and Mandarin is peachy, too. Why worry that the benefits of immersion study for kids don't kick in unless it's dual immersion and lasts at least 10 years?  The research is out there.

Maybe a 1/4 of the YY families are willing and able to put out, and pay up, for decent conversational Mandarin. These are the families that will have Chinese-speaking 20-somethings.

It is what it is and won't change unless the school hires a native speaking principal (like any serious Chinese immersion program anywhere!). [/quote]

I've heard a lot of things about YY from families there, and "warm community" is not one of them.[/quote]

I am an actual YY parent, and I find the other parents to be very friendly and the kids are great. With 500+ kids, I'm sure there are lots of different experiences.[/quote]
