[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a YY parent, I would have to say the school is NOT rigorous. The instruction in Chinese is challenging for many children. The instruction in English is sub-par and of concern. I also agree complete with the ABC former YY parent who is posting here. [b]YY is Chinese for white people. Period.[/b] Unless there is a significant change in admin, I don't see the school improving much in the near future. Needless to say, we're on our way out. YY is a nice idea and there are a lot of parents in serious denial about the school culture and rigor who post early and often on DCUM. It doesn't change the reality of the school though. I guess we can all wait for the DCCAS scores this year to be the judge. They should be better this year since nearly all the parents who can afford it are paying for tutors (in both English and Chinese) to make up for YY's substandard instruction.[/quote] Not just white people... black people, yellow people... 1/2 white, yellow... 1/2 white, black... black/yellow... white, black, yellow people who adopt white, yellow, black... kids with SNs... gay people who adopt black, yellow, white, etc.... Everybody has an equal chance of getting in, no matter what their background. REALLY COOL. We love it and are very happy we chose YY over a well regarded private (non-immersion) for DC.[/quote]
