I agree. Does anyone know how to identify parents interested in pursuing this further and meet outside the forum?
Interested. Can you contact me outside the forum?

"I was told about one..."
You deal in rumor and innuendo like the rest of the posters, who are not Oyster parents, on this thread. You do NOT have any first hand knowledge of what's going on at Oyster, and your information is wrong.
But please hire a lawyer to get to the bottom of this "conspiracy," and waste your time and money.
Oral history as an argument is stronger than the dominant discourse of the power elite (which just tries to discourage change). The more stories from people from different backgrounds, experiences...the stronger it gets.

Of course. There are many misconceptions about learning a language (including from inside O-A). Some parents may make an extra effort and others may have more resources, knowledge or even expertise on the issue, but if they are not testing for it (or not properly and/or fairly) it does not make a difference.
