[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the admin care that a lot of feeder parents for the incoming year are now looking elsewhere? I would think it would really impact the goal/mission of their second language program/agenda. They'd have to rely on lottery to fill the slots and those spots would likely be filled w/out having a second language.

This is an excellent point.  Yu Ying in particular is up there in the top 2 highest average SES of the feeder schools, and those wealthier families DO have choices.  I've seen on here several people post that YY or LAMB were the only public school they applied to.  Very few people who are middle or upper class are worried about whether their kids will get enough exposure and experience with technology.  They just want them to be as smart as possible.

Do YY and LAMB and DCI and all the other feeder schools want their wealthiest parents doing a major exodus?  For families who can choose private, this is a major question.  NOT saying somehow those families are more important than other families, but I don't see how it won't be a big deal if there is a measurable exodus from feeder schools to private whereas before there was all this energy and excitement about DCI.[/quote]
