OP, read this ongoing thread - http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/256347.page - before you think about Yu Ying.  The PTA harpies there have been flaming each other for three months now.  Not exactly a glowing recommendation for the community there.[/quote]

Wow.  I've read the thread and I don't see it as any kind of disqualifier.  The school wants to send each child on 3 trips to China, that has to be one of the most ambitious public school projects ever.  Now, there's a shake-out about how independent children are, not to mention the cost.  Disparate points of view on this are hardly a harbinger of doom.

I think DCUM is a silly place to have the conversation, but that doesn't mean there are not conversations about funding to be had.  The PA raises a lot of money every year, perhaps this is a worthwhile way to spend it.  I don't know, I can only speak for my own opinion.

However, to assume that the fact that the community is not yet unified on how to offer the students the most possible benefits of a Chinese language education?  Well, it sounds more like bitterness, sour grapes, sore loserness, etc. than a thoughtful and informed opinion.

There are Universities with Endowments larger than the GNP of some nations (I should know, I attended one), and yet they have not determined how to provide their students with a solid bilingual education and experience.

So, you're complaining that a 4 year-old DC charter elementary hasn't figured it out either?  Despite how well they're trying?

How do you not understand that you and people like you are the problem, not the solution?
