[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get why this thread is already 3 pages long and why anyone is trying to sell OP on YY.  As a parent who didn't even enter the lottery this year and who is happy where I am, if you have this many questions, I'd say go to Hearst which you seem to already feel is a school that meets your needs.  If you have that many questions about YY, leave the spot to a family who wants it more than anything and who would jump in the moment they were offered.  I agree with whoever said you've answered your own question by even asking and expressing so many doubts.[/quote]

This is a great point.  My children love YY and have absolutely thrived there.  Our family has made friends, and though we're from an international background, I continue to appreciate how much it continues to broaden our world.

Having said that, I've also been privately heartbroken - more than once - for families whom I know that passionately wanted Yu Ying and didn't get in.  Both families had really low WL numbers (high single digits or low teens) and never got in.  Both had lived in China or had a Chinese parent.  They wanted it so much, and would have been such amazing additions to the community.  It's sad for all of us that students who could contribute so much in the classroom aren't allowed to improve the school for everyone's benefit.

If you don't really love and want the idea of a bilingual education, then maybe it's best to give it to someone who does.[/quote]
