[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a YY parent and also want the school to serve all children. In fact, I wanted my child there and not in our fairly homogeneous IB school.

But as 00:11 notes, the school gives off a [b]very weird vibe when the tour guides, administrators, parents at Open Houses are so defensive when asked basic questions about Chinese language and cultural issues[/b] surrounding the school that you don't see at Spanish immersion schools -- governed by the same laws. It is really frustrating and I think does not serve our school well. [/quote]

Um, could it be that the school is weird?  I, single mom, went with MV after being offered a PreK YY slot.  Knowing zilch beyond web site info before a visit, I assumed that a small bilingual community had been involved all along.  An open house disabused me of the notion.

MV has a bilingual Latino community firmly behind it, which serves our school well.

Wow, I can only hope I'm as lucky as all these parents who ALLEGEDLY applied and got into both MV and YY for pre-K.  The odds of that have to be off the charts (even including getting in off the waitlist).  And interesting how DCUM has so many of these lucky parents...  Does that mean the more I post here on DCUM, the better my odds are of getting into at least 2 uber popular charters?   Cuz the odds seem to improve drastically here!   :roll:[/quote]
