[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the PP. This may be harder than it sounds, but I’d start by changing the website to all present info in Mandarin, in addition to English. [b]Right now it’s all English, which to me signals it is an immersion program for English speakers[/b]. I’d also translate all messages from the school to families in Mandarin. Again, it’s currently all English. Longer term, subsidize a bus pick up in the downtown/Chinatown areas. Schools like Thomson and Seaton have high populations of Mandarin speakers. Make it more convenient for those families to send their kids to YY. [/quote] Yes, because YY is just that, a program for English speakers. That's what the stakeholders have always wanted - YY board, admins, parents. The teachers aren't really stakeholders because most work on one-year visas. Why signal otherwise? If it isn't broken...[/quote]
