[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Oyster should become city wide. That'll put a stop to this rivalry of IB vs OOB. However, be prepared for the IBs families to change their tunes when they're in the same lottery as everyone else. Suddenly, it would be just fine for a native but Anglo kid to get a Span. Dom. Seat. Funny what people do when it's their own kids.[/quote]

Yes, this is the pipe dream of every English speaking family in DC who wants Spanish immersion for their kid.  Non-wealthy English-speaking parents have been demanding this for DECADES.  Unfortunately for you (and them) it's not going to happen.  Oyster is not built on magical soil.  One of the reasons Oyster has the highest test scores among immersion schools (and DC period), and can raise the money it does, even with a 25% FARMS pop., is because of those "hated" IB families.  If Oyster became a citywide school, it would become indistinguishable from every other immersion charter...and DCPS knows this fact.[/quote]
