[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're a Chinese speaker in a good position to judge?  If yes, here's a suggestion: please go speak to the Chinese teachers at DCI (in Chinese, and in private). Ask them how many students there are in the DCI student body who speak Chinese at home in a dialect-speaking family. You'll get your answer in under a minute. Zilch. Zip.  Nada. What a joke.  [/quote]

Since I know 2 families at DCI who fit that exact description and I don't even have kids enrolled there, I call BS on your post right away.  And check this out: you don't have to actually speak Chinese yourself to have friends who are both native Chinese speakers and who have kids.  Imagine that![/quote]

Imagine this - one must speak Chinese to tell how well YY and DCI kids speak it.  A few of the DCI parents speak dialects (not necessarily fluently), but not the kids.  But as long as YY and DCI aren't evaluating kids for Chinese ability on entry, or making the data available to the public, anybody can claim whatever they want on this score.  It's a system design to cover up inadequacies in a half-assed Chinese program. DCI can fudge it on Chinese until IB Diploma exams results start coming in, 4 or 5 years from now.  [/quote]
