[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's so goofy.  They won't consider someone who also speaks English a Spanish speaker?  Why don't they just do what they really want to do and ask whether the parents speak English well (and to my skeptical thinking, is low-income)?  My kid was always verbal and is the best Spanish speaker in a dual language school at PS3 but also speaks good English for a 3 year old.

And what is the point of a bilingual school that cheers bilingualism at age 5 but won't accept it at age 4?[/quote]

What are you talking about?!?  This rant makes absolutely no sense.[/quote]

The Oyster "Spanish-dominant" lottery should be about identifying kids with the ability to speak Spanish and it seems like they're tweaking it to not allow kids who also speak English to use that as the lottery of their choice, because it works.  And I know I am being cynical but I am afraid they are doing it for social engineering purposes rather than simply identifying language abilities, as they are happy to have bilingual children after entry.

Perhaps things will change with the boundary review anyhow, in terms of it becoming a city-wide type of school.[/quote]
