[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  So you think the charter board will change charter laws for the &lt;1% of bilingual Mandarin/Cantonese/ethnic Chinese in DC so they will have a &quot;Chinese&quot; School they approve of and will apply to.  YY is not exactly hurting for applications, most parents there seem happy (look at reenrollment).  Dream on.

You have much better odds by simply starting your own &quot;Chinese&quot; school with a Cantonese speaking administration, majority Chinese kids and all the things that'll make an &quot;acceptable&quot; Chinese school.  Lobby the charter board and start working on it but for god sakes stop bitching.[/quote]

The charter laws will probably be tweaked eventually to better serve the immersion schools as a group.  Reenrollment rates are linked to IB school quality, not just what YY is doing.   With so many parents with no connection to China, not surprising that most are OK with the 1-way model.  Less so with quality of administration.

But then, I'm not Chinese.  I haven't heard one say they want their own charter, just a school with the sort of ratio you see at the Spanish immersion schools (1/4 or 1/3).   Just pipe down if you can't be reasonable.
