[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great response. Certainly seemed to shut up the Crazy-Conspiracy Theory-Cantonese Speaker, which is a relief! I love what everyone is saying DCI will and will not do in terms of programming. Remember that the people who post in this manner are merely floating theories and suppositions and trying to stir up drama. What sad little lives they must lead....[/quote]

Dumb response.  I'm high-SES AA and hear no crazy-conspiracy-theory types on this thread, just those who've figured out that, sadly, it's easy to feel "too Chinese for YY" in interacting w/the admininstration, and parents like you.

After we switched from YY to a MoCo immersion school, we realized what we were missing: great insight into Chinese culture, warts and all, provided by many happy bilingual parents and kids.  When you shut up native speakers politely making valid points, you diminish the immersion experience for all involved.

I agree with the pp who suspects that jealousy is behind these posts.  Chinese immigrants tend to wrest crazy success from their children and grandchildren.  A few Chinese spoke to charter board members - we supported them.  They gave up fast, no interest there.  DCI won't benefit from alienating more bilingual families, not French, Spanish or Chinese speakers.  You're on track to get another iffy middle school if you keep pounding these points.  Move on, please.  We'd return to the District (where we still own a home) for a MS/HS that were up to par.
