I only raise these issues because they underscore the fact that YY tends to treats bilingual Chinese as non-entities.  Any wonder that around 2% of of the kids are bilingual, vs. 1/3-1/2 at most of the Spanish schools?  At this rate it might be 1% - we're losing patience.

So lose patience.  Like you said, it's 2% - bilingual Chinese barely register...   As non-Chinese YY parent, I would rather the school put it's attention to more pressing issues rather than spinning it's wheels on trying to recruit more bilingual kids:  In the end, it's entry by lottery.  Like many parents at YY, I don't care how many bilingual kids there are entering preK.  My DC has learned a lot of Mandarin starting from nothing in less than a year and I highly doubt his learning would be any greater if there were more bilingual 4/5 yr olds in his class.   There is no way YY can have 1/3, 1/2 or even 1/4, 1/8 bilingual Chinese kids unless they are given preference in admissions.  Will NEVER happen in DC.  [/quote]
