[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Response to 13:02. My friend was a native speaker. It does not matter. If you know 2 families that were denied I know over 7 that failed the exam and then got accepted. That is precisely the problem that there is no pattern, no objective, fair, process.

Well, there's your answer right there.  The (initially) rejected child comes from a home where at least one parent is a native speaker (with the cultural background and native language skills and vocabulary that suggests).  If the parent is able to prove that:  1. He/she is a native speaker, and 2.  His/her child is fluent in the language, where is the harm?  Oyster wants to fill at least half of the class with children who come from Spanish speaking homes, so your friend is helping the school to fulfill its mission.

If you tell me that non-native speaking parents are getting their children accepted after an initial rejection, then that's a totally different situation.   [/quote]
