[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Umm, I used the 'counseling out' term and posted about [b]SN kids being asked to leave Oyster[/b]. I'm not the Oyster stalker, whoever(s) that is. I'm more of an 'SN Advocate' - you can find my posts all over the SN board.

I'm not sure why 'counseling out' would be a private school only term [b]if Oyster can ask SN kids to leave [/b](and go to a monolingual school in the system). Doesn't 'counseling out' just mean being asked to leave a school? Not 'expelled', just suggested that "this isn't working for you", "we can't serve your child", and "we hope you will take the hint and leave".....

Charter schools can't do this -- when they did, years ago, there was a lot of complaints/upheaval around it. [b]But Oyster still can.[/b]

Pressuring people to leave a school is often an easier path than working with a family to meet a child's special needs. It would also probably boost test scores. [/quote]

I'm the parent of an Oyster-Adams SN student. I have NEVER heard of a SN student being 'counseled out' or asked to leave. It doesn't matter that O-A is a bilingual school. The school could be sued for doing what you are claiming. [/quote]
