[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally agree with above. Defending YY on DCUM is a losing battle and has been since the year it started. You can look at it as an amazing FREE opportunity to expose your kids to Chinese, one that is accessible equally to every family in DC. Or you can be outraged at the fact that it doesn't design its program to meet the needs of the small percentage of native speakers that are able to win the lottery, or the privileged families that can afford to supplement. The fact is, it is a public school. No one is entitled to have their particular needs prioritized above everyone else's.[/quote]

Defend YY all you want, but defending the DCI Chinese program with enthusiasm presents real challenges.  Not long ago, I attend a DCI Chinese track event.  I came away unimpressed with the momentum the program has built. The parents I talked to didn't sound happy with the Chinese instruction. Resistance to drawing native speakers to YY and retaining them sounds reasonable until you talk to DCI parents and Chinese teachers. Fact is, with no native speakers of Chinese (that's right, none) at DCI, and hardly any Asian parents, the program is struggling.[/quote]

Sure, but they are two different schools.
