[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]On the flip side, if you would like to be a part of a thriving "community" with super cool black and white families (neither school has much of a spanish population) that are bound together by mutual respect and commitment to their children as well as the school itself, then Hearst and Eaton are arguably your best options.[/quote]

OR, if you Mt Pleasant families want to be part of a thriving community of super cool families that reflects the[i] actual neighborhood you live in[/i], you could go to Bancroft! I do not get why people even choose to live in Mt. P when they have zero interest in our local school. [/quote]

As Jeff has tried to say many, many times on this thread,[b] there are many factors that go into a family's calculation about the school they choose.[/b] Hell, there are factors that go into the decision making around what brand of toilet paper I buy for my family. [b]In any case, it's not for you to understand.[/b] You are better served spending your time focusing on your own family. Your sentiment could also be applied to why a family would choose to send their child to a private or independent school (or even boarding school) that isn't in their own neighborhood. You're being purposely obtuse in a lame attempt to defend your exclusionary attitude. [/quote]

Unless you choose your IB school because you like the neighborhood school concept. In which case, you are a racist elitist. [/quote]

Can you please show me where anyone said anything of the sort? There has been a lot of criticism tossed around in this thread, but I am quite sure that nobody has been criticized for choosing their neighborhood school, let alone called a racist elitist.  Please refrain from posting made-up, inflammatory remarks.

Page 2 "And what's wrong with going to school with out of bounds kids? 
I went to eaton and that was the best part, 
It was very diverse as a result. 
Scared of brown kids?"

Page 3 "Only way to explain this is OP is referring to the brown or riff raff from EOTP OOB kids. She's not really OOB in her mind because she's wealthy, likely white and lives WOTP."

Page 4 "hmm, based on these posts maybe OOB isn't code word for brown or poor, maybe it really is about you can't afford to live in my neighborhood (which is why op isn't bothered about being the unwanted OOB at Stoddard because she does feel she lives in the neighborhood). We lived in a crappy 2 bedroom condo IB for Eaton, and I can tell you people in my neighborhood knew we couldn't "really" afford to live there and treated us accordingly though we are white and hyper-educated with kids likely to do well when testing comes around in 3rd grade."

The poster was being criticized for [b]not wanting[/b] to attend her inbound school, not for [b]wanting[/b] to attend it. Are you really that obtuse?
