[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hardly any JKLM zoned parents choose YY, a few dozen at most.

Some of us think that our kids have more than enough "cognitive benefits."

If an "immersion" public ES isn't serious about teaching a language for 8 years for whatever reasons, I'd pass. You don't want kids who are weak in two language come middle school by high SES DC standards. No shortage of YY kids in that category.

The idea is that they do YY for PK3 and PK4 and go IB JKLM starting in K right?  They wouldn't actually go all the way through to 5th grade, would they?[/quote]

They go because they want their kids to learn Chinese!! Why is that hard to believe?

No they don't, not the majority. They go for a FARMs rate in the freakin single digits.  It's hard to believe because it's, um, usually BS.  [/quote]

Actually I know a group of WOTP ES parents where one parent is Chinese and they send their kids to YY.

Going to YY because of low FARMS rates as compared to JKLM? Seems hard to believe that they are doing the schlepp across town to escape all the IB low income families at Janney etc.

Not 10% of YY families live in Upper NW.  It's just a few dozen.  Most YY parents live in NE.  [/quote]

Capitol Hill is considered NE.  Except where it's considered SE.   :mrgreen: [/quote]
