    Btw, I didn't say anything about Deal because I have heard Oyster parents compare the school to Deal. I think that Oyster is best for students whose priority is attending a top-notch immersion school (as it is for us). Deal may be best for students who are struggling with the Spanish immersion curriculum, or desire a larger school with more extracurricular activities.

OK, so now that we are through with validating my credentials as a bonafide Oyster parent we can talk about more important stuff. Like what in your view sets Oyster apart from LAMB? It can't just be the scores, because that can be correlated with the quality / SES level of students going to each school. [/quote]

Let me rephrase this last question since I am not interested in starting another pissing contest. What can we do at Oyster to make it better? Is there anything we can learn from other schools? How can we prevent having students struggle with Spanish leaving Oyster (as you or others always bring up)  ? Imagine if the same was said of math or English, that students leave because they can't keep up? Who is failing then, the students or the school?[/quote]

(Different PP here)

That IS a good question. The new principal seems to be doing a good job, but I'd love to hear her vision for the future. What main problems and opportunities she observes, how the multiple stakeholders can align our efforts and be of help, whether the new budget cuts are a big problem or not and how to improve things next year...[/quote]
