[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yu Ying DOES attract families with Chinese-speaking kids actually.  Just not PP or his friends apparently. [/quote]

Who are these kids? When we were at YY (not long ago) we talked to every Chinese-speaking kid in the student body, in Chinese, at one point or another; there were only 3 or 4 (one actually was not ethnic but was born in China). My family immigrated from Taiwan when I was a teenager, so I speak Mandarin and Fujian dialect. There were 2 dozen ethnic parents who spoke some Chinese (half a dozen fluent), but only a few kids you could have a real conversation with in a dialect. At our heritage language school there are a dozen DC kids who speak a dialect at home, and speak it well. These are mostly JKLM families. Chinese-speaking kids at YY are essentially an urban myth, and if that's" trashing YY" and "racist" talk, guilty as charged.

Go away heritage mom. No one wants to speak with a Hillbilly accent. [/quote]
