[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the problem (way special Ed kids are treated) because of the administration or particular teachers?[/quote]

The parents that I have spoken with mainly have a problem with a specific teacher (who is not returning to Oyster).  Their issue with Oyster's admin./DCPS is that the admins. are unable (unwilling, according to the parents) to keep the promises that the last principal made (i.e., to make Oyster into a model bilingual inclusion school--without the funding to back this up).  Many non-special needs parents believe that the former principal made unrealistic promises and then bailed--leaving the new principal holding the bag.  I really empathize with the parents of special needs kids, but I'm still not convinced that Oyster (with its current/foreseeable) budgetary and personnel constraints is the best environment for children with the most severe cognitive disabilities (i.e., children with disabilities that render them unable to speak (any language) and interact with others).
