[quote=Anonymous]It's really not an existential conflict. You can observe the law and still make the atmosphere of the school more embracing of ALL members of the community. It's not preferential treatment, it's letting everyone share their ideas -- and listening with an open mind and not shutting down discussions that challenge or question or suggest. And doing what is possible within the constraints of the law. The M.O., instead, is akin to, as a PP commented, love it or leave it. Our way or the highway. Nothing in the law says don't have a Mandarin speaking parent or Board member or whatever at Open Houses, clearly identified as such, introduced as a proper part of the presentation -- not to leave attendees guessing "Is she a prospective parent? A teacher? A parent?" as another PP commented. If you are wondering whether there were Chinese speakers there to field questions or provide insight, well then, I think you answer your own question right there. [/quote]
