In the same vein, maybe you should consider speaking for your own school, not YY?  Since you're not there, and don't know the school or us.  Nobody's rejecting cultural inputs, and no teachers are nervous.  Do you believe everything that you read on anonymous fora on the internet?  [b]The vast majority of YY parents would love 2-way immersion, but we can't change the law any more than you can. [/b] Why the chip on your shoulder?  Is it because Stokes is the least desirable of the immersion charter schools?  What we can do, is start a language MS/HS that your children can attend.  You're welcome.[/quote]

New poster and outsider.  Love 2-way immersion?  Well, that's not exactly the impression you folks give on DCUM.  The Spanish immersion parents, yes. I've been through many YY threads, mostly from S. China, were I work for the USG, wondering if my half-ethnic, Mandarin-speaking toddler would be at home there on my next DC post.  Correct me if I'm wrong (like OP) but the undercurrent of resentment and dislike of local Chinese immigrants sounds strong.  The only bilingual family we knew at YY dropped out, happy to land IB.  Those Cantonese speakers can be really annoying, granted, knowing my in-laws....
