[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yea, but it's still a fake immersion school, cozy and stable, but phony. Ten years in, there are still only a handful of truly bilingual Chinese-speaking kids enrolled, of more than 500 students. If YY were so hot at teaching Mandarin (or English or math), DC native speakers who don't speak English to their kids would be trying desperately to lottery in. Not the case. Having non-Chinese speaking admins Chinese teachers openly run down (in their dialects) and gang up on didn't work for us. Solid admins, right, right.

-Naturalized US citizen father who bailed on YY (although kids were the best Chinese speaker in the lower grades, by a long shot) and never looked back.[/quote]

Good riddance!  Enjoy living in Maryland.[/quote]

Still in DC. Joke is on you, mate. You think your kid's Mandarin is good. It's not, not even close, partly because my children are no longer at YY (along with almost all the other DC kids who speak Chinese well).  [/quote]

NP.  If you expect a school with a waitlist a thousand names long to miss your snowflake, then you're doing parenting wrong.  Your child isn't special, and you're not doing it any favors by pretending that it is.  It's only special to you.  Stop trying to teach it otherwise - that's why millennials are so insufferable.

IOW, this isn't about YY, it's about your failure as a parent.  Grow up and quit creating obnoxious entitled little bratlings.  [/quote]
