[quote=Anonymous]Media attention to problems at Yu Ying would be welcome. The Federal law on charter schools isn't very well written or thought through, so it doesn't necessarily promote common sense solutions where needed. The school's single open lottery has led to an arrangement that could be perceived as ridiculous, as it has at charter schools across the country. Chinese immersion schools aren't going to be for every kid whose name goes in, and many Chinese-speaking kids should be enrolled where they can be found locally. The fact that both the Federal and DC laws are not designed to deal with these not-so-subtle truths invites scrutiny. The Wash Times would probably be more interested in the issues than the Post. I'm already concerned about the DC-CAS 5th grade scores due in in 2013. This is because immersion Chinese may be shown to have hurt kids on the new slow track more than it helped them. The parents are not to blame. [/quote]
