There is a clear and consistent standard at Oyster, under the current principal:  Spanish dominance, for purposes of lottery admission, must not be derived from nanny (aunt/grandma/play cousin) or preschool care.  You don’t have to like it, but that’s the standard.

Btw, life is all about imposed value judgments, both official and implied.  [/quote]

The DC school enrollment handbook says otherwise and has done so for many years.  So, if your statement is correct, the principal is applying a standard contrary to what parents are told to expect from the handbook.  In addition, as others have pointed out, the standard comes very close to a national original test as well as being inconsistent across dual language schools.  You haven't addressed any of these issues.[/quote]

The quote below very clearly says that up until first grade they are testing for dominance, and that after first grade they are testing for proficiency.  Can you provide a link that says otherwise?  [/quote]
