I didn't know that she didn't speak Chinese when I went to an info night and, so, made the critical mistake of asking her a question in Mandarin during a break (must have been thinking in Chinese at the time).  After she snapped "speak English!" at me in front of other parents, we left early.

Sorry, but ethnic Chinese families do tend to care that the principal isn't Chinese and doesn't speak Chinese.  But then her non-Chinese speaking leadership does seem to be what the great majority of YY parents, at least those I've talked to, want.  So they continue to get it and that's that.  Nothing you can do as an outsider but look for another ES option, and get your kid to heritage Chinese lessons and/or an immersion school in the burbs.  No shortage of either for the determined, things work out.

I am curious are the principals at Cleveland, Tyler, Oyster, Munde Verde, And DC Bilingual Hispanic and Spanish. Are they fluent Spanish speakers. Is the principal at Stokes native French speaking, and or fluent. Or is this a requirement that is limited to YY and ABCs are asking for preferential treatment   I don't get the hate and I am definitely not one who is overly enthralled with YY

Do the posters on DCUM just need something to bitch and disagree about.  [/quote]
