I call BS on this post!  Why would the parents apply to Yu Ying? Yu Ying children are not old enough for middle school, so why ask ask oparents of middle school children?[/quote]

You're missing the point.  There is a decent-sized group of bilingual, low-income Chinese-American families at Jefferson who actively decided not to apply to YY when their kids were young enough to go into the lottery, four or five years ago, because their perception of the school was that it wasn't for families like them.  This is still very much the case among such parents.  It's not easy to find groups of Asian parents of school-age kids in DC, but Jefferson has one.   10% of the 400 kids at Jefferson are Asian, mostly Chinese from the Chinatown community.

These are low-income Chinese families who YY, the pols, and the Charter Board might want to hear from.  Easy to ignore the fact that all the low-SES residents of DC aren't Hispanic or AA.
