[quote=Anonymous]Oyster can still be a bilingual school without OOB kids.  There's no reason why the same curriculum cannot continue with IB students only other than the fact no one wants to talk about it for fear of sounding sounding racist or elitist.

And before anyone interjects how unfair it is and how privileged the school would be, take a look at all the schools in wealthy neighborhoods in NW that accept no OOB students.  How would this be different?

I think it is going to be tough to wrest Oyster out of Woodley Park.  What happens if the principal somehow is able to move it somewhere and make it lottery only?  Would IB kids go somewhere else, like Eaton or Marie Reed?  Does DCPS open a new school like JKLM in the Oyster building?  Where do all the kids go who attend there now?  I cannot see leadership having an opinion about these questions other than to have endless meetings with parents about the "challenges" the community faces and how we can work together to "find workable solutions."  Please.

I'm not sure why this principal feels the need to hijack the school and move it.  She should feel free to open her own charter wherever she wants.
