[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]....and I heard that the students in this track were placed on the floor beneath the chinese immersions students.   In essence, they are in the basement! [/quote]

Seriously, you really do not know what you are talking about.  The DCC class is on the top floor.  It is a beautiful classroom.  It looks out over the trees.  There are three teachers in the room (there is only one teacher in the regular classroom for 3rd and 4th grades -- although sometimes an assistant in the Chinese class).

In my child's first year at Yu Ying there was only one child who had two biological white parents in the class.  I don't think race played a role in the decision to create the DCC class at all.  There simply are not a lot of white kids in the top two grades at Yu Ying (racial mix is much different when you get to the lower grades).  When you commit to sending your child to a new charter you do it 1) because you love the vision of the new school or 2) your other options are not working for your child.  It makes sense that the top two classes (i.e. the classes where the kids were in other schools prior to coming to Yu Ying) would be the classes with a greater proportion of learning issues.  I understand that this has been the experience of other charters as well.  [/quote]
