[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Less assimilated families do seem to avoid YY. Anybody disagree? Can't see this changing without a change in administration. [/quote] Don't disagree. I'm Chinese, at YY, and speak a dialect crappily. YY, friendly and supportive school though it is, acts like low & medium-SES DC Chinese don't exist. The school caters to high-SES Asians and whites, and AA families all over the map. Chinese immersion schools elsewhere are different. I have family in Honolulu involved in a dual-immersion program (which provides targetted "dialect transition" support) and they don't think much of our kid's Mandarin, in an upper grade. We're getting a chinese au pair to try to catch up. [/quote] How large is the targeted population in Honolulu. I am just wondering if it is greater than the >1% Chinese American population in DC.[/quote]
