[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote] This does not surprise me and I'm generally pro YY. Which class? Prior to the current preK, YY has gone through their entire waitlist for preK so any favoritism like what happened to you really made no difference. [b]At least this will make "let's recruit more native speakers" people happy.[/quote][/b] I wouldn't be so sure, not when a minority of DC Chinese speaks Mandarin well enough to chat with an administrator in that dialect. Mandarin is akin to Classical Arabic for Arabs, something you learn in school vs. speak at home. You're a lot more likely to draw in an embassy family than an ordinary immigrant family by limiting your native-speaking prospective parents to Mandarin speakers. Sounds like that's what's done now, and only a dialect-speaking new administrator could fix it. [/quote]
