[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of those numbers are pretty shocking.  Yu Ying at less than 12% economically disadvantaged? Wow!

What is the percentage of students in DC that are economically disadvantaged?

What is Yu Ying's plan to diversify economically?  Are they doing outreach? [/quote]

They certainly aren't doing outreach targeting economically disadvantaged DC Chinese speakers.  I speak two Chinese dialects and work for an NGO helping low-income dialect-speaking families access city services.  YY gave up on that sort of outreach 8 or 9 years back. But then why should they diversity economically, unless the goal is to attract poor Chinese-speaking families? The Chinese doesn't pay off unless parents who don't speak Chinese at home pay tutors, au pairs, summer immersion camps, DVDs from China etc.  The Chinese YY can teach isn't enough for it to stick.[b] Poor kids are better off in other programs.

Probably true.  Your Cantonese is irrelevant.  YY is about Mandarin.  [/quote]
