[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you OP, if you are still out there, for a board reminding me to be thankful for LAMB!! [b] I honestly don't know how we get a bumper crop of native speakers in year after year[/b], but thank heavens we do.  From these posts, you wonder why most YY parents bother with Mandarin immersion when they sound like the last people to appreciate the Chinese.  Those inbound schools must really suck.

Seriously?  You don't know?  You're not aware of the substantial Spanish-speaking demographic in DC?  You're not the sharpest knife in the drawer, my dear.

In any event, since you're not at Yu Ying, you really don't know what you're talking about.  Though you won't let that stop you, if you're regularly in the habit of taking the word of anonymous cranks on the internet with an axe to grind.  You are not going to find another school in DC that is more appreciative of the Chinese.  And no, quite a lot of us have other options, some private, some IB, some moving to MoCo.  Yu Ying is choice school for our family, and for most of the families I know.

For the nth time, if you want the charter law changed to allow Yu Ying to give preference to Chinese speakers, then lobby to change it.  For now, the lottery gives the same chance to everyone, and the school takes seriously its obligation to provide an excellent education to all students.[/quote]
