[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Already, there are a few charter schools which poach families from JKLM territory and those schools are, what? 3 or 4 years old? I[/quote]

Very few.  Seriously, it's a bakers dozen going to Latin instead of Deal and probably a handful at YY.  And you know THAT's going to end when the parents wake up and realize they've been commuting 40 minutes each way and the kid still doesn't actually know [b]Mandarin after 3 years.[/b]

It's not that there's anything inferior about IT, YY, CapCity when compared to Janney.  It's that there's nothing so[b] fucking [/b]powerfully amazing about these schools relative to Janney that warrants that loooong trek across the park into the depths of Northeast, while you're trying to get to work at 8:45.

Are you jealous or just misinformed?

[b]YY Kindergarteners respond well and easily to instructions from Chinese speakers. [/b] Despite all the books we'd read and online exercises we'd done, nothing proved DS understood the tones (Mandarin)  so well as when a Chinese mother spoke up on the playground in Chinese and he understood and answered and responded appropriately.

By the way, your own language is vulgar.  So much so, that I wouldn't want to associate with you in any language: Latin, Chinese, or even English.

Good for your kid that he understood. But there's a big difference between understanding something and being able to speak something. Ask yourself the honest question, can he and other Kindergarteners at YY speak Mandarin, not just the simple Chinese characters they learned at school?[/quote]
