[quote=Anonymous]I am the PP above talking about SN kids getting counseled out of Oyster. I heard about the counseling out when I talked to a lot of Oyster parents, including several with SN kids. They didn't paint a great picture.

Also, I am not your Oyster Troll -- this is my first time posting on an Oyster thread. I am not trying to 'destroy' the school. I actually don't really care much about Oyster. But I [u]was[/u] annoyed when their Assistant Principal told me that they weren't sure they could 'serve' my child because he has dyslexia and that they might counsel him out to Francis Stevens. Child is Spanish native, and very high performing. Just not a typical mind and does need some special instruction. We didn't want to move him from his charter school just to have him get counseled out. And it seemed like they were encouraging us [u]not[/u] to take the lottery spot. Maybe a warm embrace of different cultures doesn't always include a warm embrace of minds that work slightly differently.

Every other public school I visited proposed how they would give my child an IEP with what services, not saying they might not be able to serve him. The only other school that said something like this were a couple of private schools which have similar policies.
