[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only want to add to PP about Special Education at YY.  From the description, it sounds scary - All those Teach for America people with little experience.  Don't be.  I was skeptical about YY Sp Ed when I learned my child has special needs and needed services/IEP after enrolling.

Experienced or not, Sp Ed does a very good job and goes out of their way to meet the needs of the kids there providing FAPE in an immersion environment.  Because they are young, they are more open to best practices and trying whatever is necessary to make it work for the kids even beyond what could be found at the best of the WOP publics.

My kid is in an mainstream inclusive K classroom with a ratio of 18:3 in both English and Mandarin classroom with a bilingual Mandarin speaking Sp Ed teacher assigned to the Chinese classroom.

We are very pleased with Sp Ed at YY and even my kid's developmental pediatrician and high priced consultant are impressed.

I agree. The changes they have implemented in Special Ed over the past year are nothing short of a 180 change for the better.[/quote]
