Whoah.  My college roommate, and current house guest, is a prof at Chapel Hill.  Sends his kids to a Chinese immersion school at "Glenwood ES."

When I mentioned that yy has around a dozen bilingual kids of 400, he was surprised.  Says the CH Chinese population can't be half DCs, but they have 3 or 4 times as many as we do.  They have a Chinese administrator and dual lotteries, so aren't turning away bilingual kids like we are.  Says visionary NC supports no less than 7 dual-immersion Chinese schools, 1/3 the US total.  They just take as many ethnic Chinese & bilingual kids as they can find.

Sounds like a wise move to wait until Henderson's gone - things will change once she's out.  And she may not stay much longer.  Gray is already sort of out.  [b]You're the troll to trash a concept that could absorb some off YY's long waiting list.  play nicely for a change.

So go ahead and DO SOMETHING.  Obviously you care a lot but not enough to do anything about it...  except complain and give excuses about why you aren't doing anything.[/quote]
