[quote=Anonymous]I volunteer at Jefferson MS in SW, where there are several dozen low-income Chinese-Am students, many of whom seem to be bilingual (I hear them speaking Chinese together). I've asked a few of their parents if they put their kids' names in the YY lottery when the children were the right age. They say, no, YY isn't for poor Asian kids, it's for whites, blacks and a few rich ABCs. Why not try to involve these parents in the discussion about getting bilingual numbers up? The Charter Board probably doesn't even know about them and could be made aware that almost all the Chinese at YY are well off. I don't believe that DC Charter doesn't want to serve low-SES Asians, they're just off the radar. [/quote]
