[quote=Anonymous] [i][b]* will specialized schools like Yu Ying or Bridges be as successful if people get in not because they really love the school's specialty but because it's popular and located nearby?[/b][/i] Most of the YY families are already there because it's popular and located nearby (many Petworth and North Hill families) and a much better option than their weak IB schools. They claim to love the specialty without having any deep or abiding connection to Chinese culture or the Chinese language. The problem you predict already exists, and on a grand scale. If you want to find a big group of parents who love the specialty for its own sake, look no further than a weekend heritage Chinese school in Rockville. [/quote]
