Pope is gone.  Why isn't Hardy viable? new principal, new school.  Get 20 kids from Key and 20 kids from Mann, 40 from Stoddert.  Then fewer OOB slots, the school can be yours in 2 to 3 years.   Not a bad place in the meantime.  [/quote]

Its a 'first-mover' problem. Noone wants to be the first one to take a chance and risk the education (and perhaps safety, given the vitriol spewed toward IB parents in the post and elsewhere) of their child. There has to be an additional carrot to lure IB parents, like offering, well, IB.[/quote]

Yet they didn't hesitate to take the risk of moving Pope out.  Plus let's not forget the vitriol than IB parents focused on current Hardy parents and continue to [see above reference to safety].

Some peacemaking is needed and I don't know how it's going to happen.[/quote]

Once again, the parents who pushed Rhee on Pope are out of the picture - their kids are in MS or HS elsewhere. One lesson from this mess is that perhaps it would have been better to look for a long-term solution rather than a short-term fix.

No need to punish the current IB parents of 4th and 5th graders.  We didn't take the risk of moving Pope out because we were not at any secret meetings, or even allowed at the table in the discussions.[/quote]
