[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So start one! It would be great to see in action and there would be a lot to be learned on all sides. I'm sure if the new school is up to snuff like the 4 already involved then those schools would be keen to have more speakers of Chinese (whatever dialect you chose to have for the school).[/quote]

The school would be a Mandarin immersion school, w/dialect transition support for kids like ours.  Mandarin is rapidly becoming the Chinese lingua franca for dialect speakers around the world.  There are two-way Mandarin immersion elementary schools in cities as far flung as Vancouver, Sydney and Singapore for this reason.  But I'd be really surprised if DCPS would play ball for now.  We'll almost certainly have to wait until Gray and Kaya go.  We'll ask but they'll tell us no money, little interest, we're closing schools, YY is enough.

seriously, after all your posts you are now going to make excuses for not attempting to do this? oh troll, you have just lost all credibility. [/quote]

Well, let's give them a chance. When you ask, take notes and report back. If we don't hear anything we'll assume it never happened.[/quote]
