[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any immersion program where the principal and other top administrators don't speak the language and the school doesn't know how to handle bilingual children (so there are only a handful). Not sheepish about it. Everybody doesn't love YY, OP.

And heritage mom is back![/quote]

And she's as tired as ever, but she does serve a purpose.  With a WL in the hundreds for a handful of seats I know I would rather (and I'm sure LAMB and 2R and MV are in the same boat) we had a mechanism to could sort out the uncommitted, the wafflers, the band-wagon jumpers, etc. - all in advance.

[b]I'd personally rather that the only families who apply to YY are those [/b]who are excited about Mandarin, and [b]willing to set up [b]Mandarin playgroups and [/b]tutoring sessions, and maybe even [b]music lessons and private sports.[/b]  [/quote][b]

Basically you are only interested in families with disposable income, all others go to your low performing  neighborhood schools, YY doesn't want you. [/quote]

[B]Music lessons and private sports should have been included as a lot of families cannot afford such luxuries[/B]. [/quote]

Um, dial back the outrage and class warfare please.  Even private school parents pay extra for music and sports and clubs, etc.  Those are not acceptable outlays of taxpayer funds at a public school.

But YY is not a private school is it. I know that many parents act like it's a private school receiving public funds, but it is not private. [/quote]

Right - it's a public school.  So parents who want music lessons and sports teams and clubs and whatever else, presumably pay for that on their own dime.  If they want to get together with other parents and arrange to pay for that stuff outside of school - what's the problem?  I hope you realize parents at other schools - not just YY - do this too.  [/quote]

But to only want parents who can afford these extra affluent perks  speak volumes about you or the poster who said that's the only families she wanted at YY. [/quote]
