[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not strange. Mandarin is really out there for most of the YY families, with no family connection to Chinese and weak commitment or insufficient resources to supplement with au pairs, summer immersion programs and so forth. YY still doesn't send announcements home in Chinese. It's basically been a fake immersion program from the get go.[/quote]

Not a YY family and no horse in this race, but this line of thinking is so weird to me. Most families don't choose immersion because they expect actual fluency. They choose because it is a nice to have and the demographics of the schools are vastly preferable to their IB or other available options. As more ES become stronger options this makes them less of a draw (i.e. Maury, LT, etc.) The axe people like you have to grind against YY is nonsensical. What's the argument? Because they don't insist on Mandarin as primary language to a bunch of DC families that don't speak the language, people who demand true fluency and immersion don't choose it because...they are going to all of the other true immersion Chinese schools in DC? The logic doesn't track.

People like you have been on DCUM since the beginning of time whining about how YY isn't truly an immersion school. Get over yourself. 克服自己 [/quote]
