If you don't like YY don't apply.  Everyone knows, or should know, that YY cannot circumvent charter law.  [b]What many of you do not know is that a couple years back, YY did approach the charter board about amending the rules to get a greater percentage of native speakers, similar to LAMB's.[/b] I often wonder if that is how LAMB's cheating came to light, but I digress.

YY has reached out to the dwindling DC Chinese American community.  As a matter of fact, some of the programs in after school are administered by members of the Chinese Center.  I think many people on DCUM like to talk smack with half the facts.

I didn't know that.  Why isn't this request discussed at YY?  Why doesn't the administration try again, now that change is in the air with the new city council committee on education, and all the chatter about DCPS-charter partnerships?  If DCPS schools can openly recruit native speakers, includiung many FARMS kids, why not charters?  The DCI founders could jointly approach the charter board with a proposal, with nothing to lose if it fails.

Dwindling Chinese-American commuity?  The 2010 US Census showed nearly a 1,000 person jump in residents self-identifying as Chinese from 2000.   What is true is that the number of ethnic residents of Chinatown is going down.
