[quote=Anonymous]This thread has given me pause to think that Oyster is not a good environment for Latino and non-Latino OOB families. The negativity and hatred on here is terrible and reflects poorly on the school. I wouldn't want my child or anyone's child exposed to it and it totally contradicts the Latin culture's values of humility and respect. There's also clearly animosity towards people of lesser means. Several posters pointed out their ability to afford the neighborhood and their differentiation from non-wealthy people, etc... I couldn't stomach that sort of elitism and snobbery, particularly when in my understanding the Spanish program is not that difficult for Spanish-speaking kids. We, too, went elsewhere and are glad we did. I hope the principal will address this.[/quote]
