[quote=Anonymous]Not buying it. Public Chinese immersion programs commonly support several lotteries: one for kids who mainly speak Mandarin at home, one for kids who mainly speak other Chinese dialects at home, and one for kids who don't speak Chinese at home, aiming for a 3-way split. There are even immersion programs where all students learn Cantonese (the only way to attract enough native speakers for dual immersion), then all the kids transition to Mandarin in middle and high school. The Cantonese-Mandarin immersion programs produce the best AP Chinese results eventually, by a long shot. In YY's case, it wouldn't be difficult for the school to partner with a large, well-established MoCo heritage program like Hope to ensure that YY students interact with bilingual immigrant families on a regular basis. No chance of this under the current head of course.[/quote]
