ITA.  I think dual immersion would be great to have but this constant harping...The Chinese poster seems to have a proprietary interest in Yu Ying although they do not send their kids there solely on the basis of their ethnicity.  They are Chinese and YY teaches Mandarin therefore prospective CHINESE students should be preferred and catered too.  Treated special in the lottery and otherwise.   Leaves a bad taste...[/quote]

What an idiot you are.  The guy gave up already and wasn't Chinese, his wife was.  They didn't ask for special treatment, he explained what a turn-off the open house was to the Chinese side of his family.  I thought his points about the realities of dual immersion were interesting.  Sounds like he's headed to Oyster or another Spanish school, happily enough.

No he is the idiot. The first thing he did was bash YY for having a Black principal. The nerve of YY.   Then he reiterated some bullshit about too many FARM AA. Okay which is it DCUM, is YY full of FARM, or does YY have one of the lowest FARM rates in DCPC. It's been spewed both ways. Then the guy made a jab about AA not aspiring to college. Or, and he did not just bash AA  he want after the "assimilated" chinese parents at YY  they were not chinese enough for him and his IL.  He did finally get around to stating that YY needed to reach out to 
dialect speaking Chinese immigrants in the community if they really wanted it to be a Chinese school. Guess what, YY is not a Chinese school. It is am american school that provides Chinese language acquisition in an immersion setting.  The school also observes Chinese culture and traditions. But, it is an American school.

Very school is not for every child. He will find that oyster is also an American school with an educational emphasis to provide Spanish 
language immersion it is not operated by the Spaniards, Dominicans, hondurans, etc.  ,   I am for dual immersion. What i am not for is entertaining people like that poster and their desire to glorify their racism.

It appears that the younger classes are attracting more ethnic Chinese students, and no they are not all adopted by white women as has been erroneously reported on this board. [/quote]
