[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's a question for the new Mandarin charter school catering to Cantonese speakers.[/quote] To clarify, certainly not a charter catering to Cantonese speakers. I assure you that nobody's going to attempt to found one because, without a lottery for bilingual kids like Oyster's, little point. What's being discussed is a DCPS school, or a DCPS/charter hybrid, catering to a mixed group of Chinese dialect speakers AND other parents sold on the dual, or two-way, immersion model, where students learn the target language and culture not only from teachers, but from bilingual peers and their family members (no perverted uncles allowed). No idea if the concept will ever see the light of day, but it's a fine idea. FYI, Cantonese is just one of half a dozen major Chinese dialects. My family speaks Fujian, my spouse's speaks Hakka, and we'd like to see an alternative to YY for Mandarin immersion. [/quote]
