[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MoCo parents know that kids who stick w/immersion Mandarin through 8th grade, and earn good grades, present competitive applications to the Richard Montgomery International Baccalaurate program (admitting 10-15% of applicants county wide). This is part of their motivation for working hard at Chinese.

Once DCI has a HS fielding graduating classes, and YY has a feel for how its alumni are faring in college admissions, I'd wager that more parents will be more committed to Mandarin. Also, with charter funding very likely to improve in the coming years, the school should improve, too. I don't see non native speaking admins being a fixture either.

Agree with this other than the point about the current Admins.  Hopefully by the time DCI has graduating classes and (hopefully) YY's star has continued to rise, all the grumpy folks criticizing the current Admins will have banded together to create new Mandarin charter schools - in DC and in MoCo.  That way if the demand really does increase as you say, there will be more schools to suit the demand.  Because to be 6 or 7 years down the road from today and have 100X the complaints about how YY does things or how MoCo is better... that might just melt the internets.[/quote]
