[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCI parents have self-selected and managed to weed most of the low performing and/or problematic students from their lower feeder schools.

They will replicate this model for later grades, with even more barriers to entry.

That is the charter way (at least, it's the the HRCS one).[/quote]

Yes to self-selecting but bs to weeding out.

We are leaving a feeder and were literally told by the principal that we live in a city of choices and I was free to make a choice when I wanted them to address my challenging child's needs (read IEP).  It is not BS.  Yu Ying's scores for disadvantaged (economically or socially) populations are piss poor.  The only school that is a feeder that is serving disadvantaged populations well is LAMB, which is impossible to get into, so who cares.  And Yu Ying has a reputation for being racist/classist (don't know anyone there) and being the worst among them for weeding people out.

The post you were responding to was spot on.  School choice my ass.[/quote]

Wow, you don't know anyone there and yet you are comfy spitting out a whole bunch of really obnoxious criticisms, including that they're racist and classist and don't serve their IEP kids?  That pretty much lays out how little credibility you have right there.

I know 2 families with children with IEPs at Yu Ying.  They have struggled on their own with whether the Mandarin is just too much, but they both have had positive things to say about how YY has supported their kids.  Sorry for your experience at your feeder school, but do not try to bring YY down with you - I have not heard ANY YY parents complain about their children with special needs being weeded out or ignored or the school refusing to meet their needs.  There are a lot of threads trashing YY, and yet that is one criticism that hardly ever rises, and the parents I know have had a positive experience.[/quote]
