That's probably true about CM, IT and TR.  [b]But of those, only TR is bilingual[/b].  And as crazy as a lot of people thought YY was, there were a TON of people who got why Mandarin was something they wanted to get in on.  There were parents who said in any other situation they would NOT be willing to be in the founding class but because it was Mandarin, they were willing.  Mundo Verde is in a whole other class because of its connections to an already-established popular charter.  Jewish families who value Hebrew bilingual will of course be willing to be first class, but success as a DCPCS requires non-Jewish families to go to Sela.  Maybe Sela is starting in similar place as IT and CM, but it's quite unrealistic to think the non-Jewish demand will be even close to the non-Chinese demand of YY or the non-Latino demand of MV.[/quote]

TR is [u]not[/u] bilingual.  It's Expeditionary/Outward Bound (not sure what the current term is).[/quote]
