THE PURPOSE

I was asked two very important questions: What is the purpose of this blog? What is the call to action?

THE PURPOSE

Over the past three years there have been articles in a couple of periodicals namely the Gotham News and several segements produced on New York One misrepresenting the removal of Ling Ling Chou, the principal of the Shaung Wen.

The removal has been described as a racially motivated action by the Department of Education. A small minority of parents have named ex-principal Ling Ling  " The Mother" of Shuang Wen; In addition to attempting to make her some sort of an educational MARTYR.

This blog came about to disspell this myth to those who are aware of the recent outlandish propaganda. In addition, to provide a voice for the parents that have not had a voice during the Ling Ling regime.

I am hoping to reach other parents of Shuang Wen, community members of District One and the general public.

By word of mouth I hope to come in contact with other parents who have children educated in a dual language education enivironment.



THE CALL

What is it I want people to do after reading this blog? What can you do to help?

SHUANG WEN currently has an excellent principal Iris Chiu who needs your support. I am calling for support of the dual language program to remain in the school. Showing support can be done by simply writing letter of support to the school or emailing your support to PS184duallanguage@gmail.com.
