[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always thought Oyster lacked good system wide positive discipline and character Ed. But the individual teachers were lovely and doing their best. The opposite of bullies. That's risible. The scary ones were some of the completely demandy parents! [/quote This. My DC attended Oyster-Adams through grade 4 and we left precisely for this reason. Teachers are great but unduly focused on test scores and not much else. We cared just as much about what kind of person our DC would become. Many families left after grades 3 and 4, reluctantly I might add. So the grade 5 retention figure is a bit misleading. [/quote] How are the retention figures misleading. I'm an Oyster parent and the letter I received said that 5th grade retention was in the 90% range. That's not 100%, so doesn't that account for families, like yours, who leave the school?[/quote]
