[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Funny--I've been an Oyster parent for a few years now. I have never (not once), heard an Oyster parent claim that our school is "in the same league" as LAMB, Stokes, MV, Marie Reed, Bancroft, etc. However, I frequently read statements on DCUM (from parents at those other schools ) claiming to be in the same league as Oyster. Hmmm... [/quote]\

One more volunteer for the DCUM gestapo. Yes, I am an Oyster parent. The easiest way to prove it to you  right now is that we all received a robocall from Mayra changing the date of her coffee last Friday.

Funny you were not pissed by me putting Oyster in the same league as Deal.

I'm not pissed at all.  However, you sound... a bit upset.  I simply observed that I have never heard an Oyster parent claim to be in the same league with LAMB, or any other immersion schools in DC.  That is my experience, and I'm not interested in having a back and forth with you about it.[/quote]

I think we can all agree that Oyster is a top-tier school, as demonstrated by their test results and by the fact that otherwise upstanding citizens lie and cheat in order to get their children in it. Fighting over which other schools belong in that top tier as well, or how those top-tier schools rank among themselves, is futile. The Montessori approach of LAMB may be more beneficial for some, while the time-tested teaching method of Oyster may fit someone's learning style else better.[/quote]
