[quote=Anonymous]also to the PP who said they would think it's fine to put their kid in for PS-3 and Pk-4 and then move when they got another spot, you realize you are also disadvantaging the kid who gets in at Kindergarten and couldn't get in earlier as well as the whole class. He or she could have had two full years of Chinese language immersion in school. Starting at ground zero in K is harder and hurts the whole class because  it drags down the overall proficiency when you have a bunch of kids with no exposure to the language starting two years later.

We are a current YY family and I have to say the one thing that made me nervous when we toured the school was to see lots of students--including those in upper grades who were mostly speaking in English. They clearly understood the teachers but they weren't speaking Chinese. We hope that PS and PK immersion will make a difference here, since there are almost no native speakers at the school, but that will be all that much harder if people put their kids in for a year or two of free school and then pull out later.
