Four Corners

I had a terrible experience with the administration at Oyster Creek Elementary. The principal was highly unprofessional and dishonest with our family. She tried to trick me into signing Special Education/IEP paperwork by telling me it was for an 'automatic grade promotion.' When I found out the truth and refused to sign, she changed her story completely and used high-pressure tactics to bully me.Staff members even threatened that my child would be held back if we moved to another school, but would be allowed to pass if we stayed. They care more about keeping students enrolled for district government funding than they do about the actual well-being of the children.Thankfully, Texas state law protects parental rights, and I had to go over the principal's head to the district leaders to get my son's second-grade placement secured. If you are an international or multilingual family, be very careful and do not sign anything without checking your rights first. We are happily leaving this school for a private academy.
