[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't worry, OP.  After YuYing the kids who were forced to study Mandarin all those years, with no real family connection to Chinese or China, will mostly study...Spanish.

You heard it here first.[/quote]

God, who cares? I studied Spanish for years and years and later was a Russian major and German minor. Like music or sports, language is usually an asset regardless of whether one becomes an expert.[/quote]

Um, parents should care if they're sending their kids to a 50% immersion school for up to 8 years, them partial immersion at DCI for a few more years, then HS Chinese.[/quote]

Who are you to tell parents what they should care about? It's not a heritage school; it's a DC charter school that also teaches Chinese. Parents who want a heritage program go to a heritage school, as they should.[/quote]

NP.  The YY parents on these threads don't wow me with their realism.  OP included.

PP is correct.  If you're sending your kid to an immersion charter, know what you're getting into.  A quick trip around the YY web site tells me that YY celebrates Chinese heritage like crazy in various ways and claims that students emerge fluent in Chinese.  If you don't want that, don't enroll.[/quote]
