How is that poster's statement factual?  She was making an assumption based on her beliefs, without any evidence. Have YY' s breakdown of the DC-CAS been posted and everyone except that poster missed the results?  I know, she has talked to all the teachers, and they have personally told her that all the AA students are failing miserably in math, English, and Mandarin. [/quote]

Good Lord!  We were at YY and nothing could be more factual.  Evidence: a non-immersion 2nd track the whole city knows about, and every kid on it this past year AA.  The pps who rave about YY don't tend to have kids in the upper grades.  We're leaving for a private due to lack of rigor (in math and English, not Mandarin).  Look at the break down of 2010 and 2011 test scores by race if you doubt that a large group of AA kids struggles.  Or simply look at the location - Brookland is hardly Friendship Heights.  There are AA kids who do well of course, but they tend to be high-SES.  Some even have Chinese-speaking au pairs at home.  No poster said ALL AA kids.  Grow up.
