Oyster School Stands the Test of Time.
Fern, Veronica
Bilingual Research Journal, v19 n3-4 p497-512 Sum-Fall 1995
Describes Oyster Elementary School's award-winning two-way bilingual (Spanish-English) program. The school's success has been maintained by strong parent and community support, high academic standards, and ongoing professional development efforts. However, cultural, generational, and socioeconomic differences among staff, students, and parents have caused philosophical conflict in the school community. Decreasing funds is also a problem. (SV)
