How? YY has thrived for 12 years with any real connection to the DC Chinese community. SErious question.

The head of school's inability to speak Chinese and connect with the Chinese community has made DL so much more difficult than it would have been otherwise.

Not our experience where teaching academic subjects or Chinese is concerned, either in-person or DL. No homework policy for upper grades doesn't impress. The specials might be exceptional.The hybrid plan is seriously lame.

Did you select in-person back in October?

Fellow YY parent here. I think they are doing a good job in a bad situation. YY is an exceptional school.

They’re not going to blacklist you (how ridiculous) but I don’t think any of the other schools/district you list has fully opened either, so the grass may just look greener.

Homeschool for 5 months until I move to JKLM or Moco or Arlington. I want to stay in private. Im worried if I leave will I be blacklisted from other charters. So I might even stay.

How exactly would they go about blacklisting you?

I dunno maybe I'm being paranoid but don't they one common application?

They do but it is strictly by common lottery number and is audited. The schools do not determine your number and they cannot skip. Surely you don't think YY somehow selected you personally for your wonderfulness, right?

I'd blame your school for that, not DCPS. My child changed teachers once, not 4x.

Totally. Hybrid mess is not on DCPS. I mean YY is sort of damned if they do so I feel for them. It's very hard for the teachers and administrators. But it's hard for the kids too.
