[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College Gardens ends in 5th, right?[/quote]

NP, College Gardens feeds to Herbert Hoover MS in Potomac for partial immersion Chinese. Many of the HH Chinese track students go on to the Richard Montgomery IB Diploma program in Rockville, which admits no more than 10% (100 of more than 1000) applicants for 9th grade.  Chinese immersion track students are in demand in the RM IBD program.  YY families who move to MoCo can try to test into College Gardens and Herbert Hoover.  But kids really have to be able to speak Mandarin decently for their ages to make the grade.

I have learned that a poster who 
1) puts down YY's immersion program, 
2) mentions MoCo, and especially 
3) mentions that he is a native speaker who supplements his children's learning at a heritage center... 
is none other than THE notorious YY troll that is incredibly insecure about anyone who encourages their children to learn Chinese without taking the super rigorous (and miserable-sounding) approach he takes.

I also noticed that he often claims to be a NP, even though he's a PP, to suggest there are more of him. But there's not.

When it comes to Chinese language learning, this DCUM poster is equivalent of posters that look down on anyone that doesn't live in a million-dollar house in NoVA.

His kids probably speak great Chinese, though.
