[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

Take a look at College Gardens, Herbert Hoover, and Yu Ying on a map. And then think about how off topic this post is in relation to OP's questions about Yu Ying. Seek justification for your life choices somewhere else. [/quote]

Wish you were right. Problem is, the College Gardens, Potomac and Herbert Hoover programs have figured out how to ensure that almost all their students can speak decent Chinese by the upper grades; YY and DCI have not.

As a YY parent, it's worth going to an open house for Mandarin immersion in MoCo.  You can learn about how to supplement in ways you may not have thought of, like enrolling in Concordia summer camps, taking opportunities to interact with native-speaking peers, volunteer programs run by local NGOs where Mandarin-speaking kids visit elderly Chinese speakers in public housing etc.  [/quote]

No. We are not interested in your puffery about MoCo schools that are 40min in the wrong direction for our commutes. Nor are we interested in summer camps in Minnesota (!) for our PK4 that just enrolled in YY.

If you can't see that your input is not helpful, unwanted, and actually really hurts your credibility, then you have a personality disorder. This thread, and several others about YY over the past couple years (I've looked), is mired down (and being abandoned by people who could give useful insight) because of your hijacking and obsessive advocacy. Your opinion has been heard, and your suggestions have been rejected, on this thread and multiple others. I don't expect you to go away, but at least just go someplace where you're more relevant.

Speak for yourself.  We're very high on the YY WL and I'm very interested.  We've been offered a spot in a SPanish immersion DCPS.  It's starting to look like the program for us, even if we get off the YY WL.[/quote]

Well I guess you're in luck, because the same guy has been posting the same talking points on YY threads for a long time, regardless of topic or appeals to go away. In the end, it's about boosting his schools and neighborhood, like a realtor, and downplaying competition from YY. It goes like this: YY isn't serious, your children speak better Chinese with native family and friends, supplemented at a local heritage center, further supplemented by expensive immersion programs in other time zones like Concordia, oh and you should really consider moving 20+ miles away to the MoCo schools his kids are in because the teachers are waaaay better. He does this in just about every single YY thread.

Oh look here he is, with people complaining about his repeat posts: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/30/702630.page
Gee, here he is again, same characteristics: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/375/672329.page#12181151
And again: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/60/694124.page

Etc. etc.

Hope his input aids your decision![/quote]
