[quote=Anonymous]Yes there can be disadvantages. My child attended Oyster, many English speaking students had a Spanish speaking parent or adult in the home, my child was at a linguistic disadvantage and struggled with Spanish for years, as did many others at Oyster. (In fact, my child's Spanish was mocked by a child whose father was from Central America and who came from a bilingual home.) At the time, Oyster did not provide enrichment during the day, it was before or after school. I do not know if that's how they handle this now. I also do not know if the English speaking students are as bicultural. It's not for everyone. My child is now in high school and is very glad to have stuck with it![/quote]
