[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Many strategies, some lost cost, could be explored (e.g.using community volunteers, my MIL, fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese, would be glad to help). [/quote] Who would advocate for a child to be pulled out of a classroom with a teacher (or two) to receive instruction from someone's mother in law? And why aren't these kids that you speak of getting language support from home? My children are. They have a Chinese tutor and I tutor them in English. I agree that something might be able to be done to lure in more Cantonese applicants, but we are still talking about a couple hundred kids CITY-WIDE who will still have to go through the lottery process like everyone else. If less than 1% of the city's children are native speakers of Chinese it would be lucky to net more than 20 additional students with whatever outreach is used.[/quote]
