[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just want to say that this is the least hate-filled Oyster thread I've come across in a long time. Thanks and keep it up, guys.

(Cue the Oyster Troll and the screaming librarian story...)[/quote]

Lots of people are telling the OP is not a nurturing place. Not sure if that counts in your eyes?

I agree with that btw- not very warm and fuzzy.

I heard oof teachers yelling at students- the librarian yells too?[/quote]

The "screaming librarian" story surfaces from time to time in Oyster threads. Some people believe that one person keeps telling that story and that the one person has it in for Oyster and makes unfair negative comments. I would not know the truth of that.

As for comments saying that Oyster is not nurturing - I would take that into account and wouldn't necessarily discount that as trolling. It depends on the tone and/or the specific evidence used to back up the opinion.[/quote]

Definitely not a warm and fuzzy place. Diego I would look at Mundo verde 8th. I feel like they’ll run through their waitlist for pk4. It has its negatives but it is sweet and nurturing (at least the P st location) and great for lower grades. [/quote]

Yet there are several families who left Mundo- and found Oyster to be nurturing.  (On the whole, I would say Mundo does great in PS3/PK4, but it’s the challenges from k onwards that detract.)

Didnt Mundo 8 just open?  How could there be “challenges”?[/quote]

Schoolwide challenges already experienced at P Street, only to be exacerbated with the expansion based on the administration and leadership of MV.[/quote]

How unsurprising for a thread on oyster to contain nasty reviews on other schools for no reason.

Op you have no chance of getting in at P st Mundo, the suggestion was 8th street Mundo which is brand new. [/quote]

Sensitive much?  The comment was both supportive- and factual.  DC can actually have more than one good school, immersion or otherwise. Both PP confirmed that in lower grades MV was nurturing. The other problems there are well documented, and have been surfaced/resurfaced in multiple threads.[/quote]

My kids are not at Mundo, but I question the fact that parents from oyster name call when someone brings up the questionable disciplinary tactics used on young children but feel free to trash Mundo.

FWIW I’ve heard first hand some bad stories about oyster- special needs issues, yes, yelling, questionable curriculum choices but I don’t even bother elaborating. I have definitely heard some stories about Mundo too, but I would not say that either is an established fact. [/quote]

Please just focus on your child’s education (also known as the Mundo Verde experiment), and keep scrolling past OA’s posts that don’t concern you.  If your child attends MV, you have bigger concerns ahead.[/quote]

We turned down Mundo and oyster.  I feel like we dodged two bullets!!  Haha[/quote]
