[quote=Anonymous]It is a barrier. We turned a spot at YY after attending an open house with my mother, whose English is weak. She insisted that we must be in the wrong place because nobody in the room was speaking Chinese. I'd actually asked her to attend on her own, which would have been an even bigger mistake than attending together. We've been approached by parents at our church who speak little English asking if we think they should attend a YY open house and put in for the lottery. We say no point, you won't be able to follow what admins are saying unless you bring along your own translator. They use Thomson ES where a Chinese interpreter/early childhood teacher is almost always available.[/quote]
