PS 184 Shuang Wen School
Edward W. Primus, III: As you may know P.S. 184 or Shuang Wen has been in the papers and in the media a lot in the past few months. This is due to a change of administration and a group of parents who feeo that they are entitled to attending a school which is not in their district. The name Shuang Wen means Dual Language a name that has been duplicitous and not true up until recently with the new administration working to attain this goal. In the past it was not true due to the fact that it was a regular public school with a Chinese After-school program run by SWAN. The new admilnistration has taken the view that education is about equity and no child should have to pay $1,000.00 to learn Chinese in a public school.
The facts speak for themselves for in order to say you are a Dual Language school you would have to have content which qualifes by some standard to show you are teaching studentss to learn Chinese. P.S. 184 has never in the past had these standards. I cou;d say more but I think I will leave it here, and just say that I and many others wish the new administration luck and will do all we can to support this real approach to teaching children Chinese and English.

PS 184 Shuang Wen School
(a former student): It's a really good school because all students learn how to respect each other. Shuang Wen helps students prepare for their future so that they become successful. The demand for multilingual people for the society has increased so Shuang Wen has a tremendous benefactor; the skill to speak/read/write mandarin Chinese.
