[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]YY was started by a bunch of parents.  I believe only one or two of the founders had experience  in education. For everyone on this board who wants a mandarin test-in school, go start your own charter, and you can send your children to that school. However, you will need to open it in another jurisdiction. The federal mandate prohibits it for charter schools in the District. [/quote]

This X 100.  None of these people who think they're smart enough to insist on what is better for YY were around when the hard decisions and work were being done.  Now that it's successful so far, they want to change it and are mystified why it's not changing (hmmm maybe because YY isn't allowed to change it?).  Quit griping and start your own schools.  Won't hold my breath though, since some of you sound so used to everyone doing everything for you, you wouldn't get past step 1.  Starting and running schools is incredibly hard work - for starters, they need to be able to do this while dealing with impossible parents like you!  I don't envy them their jobs at all.[/quote]

It's interesting that all the complaints come from people who don't have kids at Yu Ying...  go start your own Mandarin immersion school if you don't like it.[/quote]

You are so right!  But in some ways, it's not surprising.  The people complaining are the people trying to figure their way in.  And while I understand and appreciate every parent trying to find a good school for their kids and get their kids in, the endless griping and insisting that they know what's best is tiring at best, obnoxious, delusional and patronizing at worse.  And absurd as well, since there is nothing that can be done differently under current  charter laws.  Yup, go start your own Mandarin immersion school.  And we welcome you coming back and bragging about it in 4 or so years when you're ready to open.  That is, unless you get bored about an hour after deciding to do it because you can't find someone else to do it for you.[/quote]
