[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all those OOB parents with an inferiority complex because they live eotp, get over it!  It's clear that you recognize wotp is better...at least for schooling your dc.  The bar is lower eotp - simple as that.  If you want to stop feeling so much internal shame just move wotp and be done with it.  Remember that feeling of excitement you got when your kid got into an oob school?  Remember that and just be grateful you you have this opportunity wotp.[/quote]

I'm an IB Hardy parent and I want to distance myself from this poster immediately. She speaks for no one but herself.[/quote]Ha ha, this person is hilarious!  Speaking as an EotP parent, I just have to laugh at the notion that the previous poster really believes that we feel shame for living there.  So deluded! Don't worry, IB Hardy parent, this person is uniquely odd - no worry of me anyway assuming the crazy one speaks for other WotP parents.[/quote]

The PP is right, though.  This entire thread boils down to a bunch of EOTP families defending their access to a WOTP neighborhood middle school.  Hardy has turned into a charter school with a neighborhood preference.[/quote]So enroll your kid and it won't be one anymore.  [i]Literally no one is stopping you.[/i]  How do you think all those EotP kids originally got in OOB?  Because the school was abandoned by the IB families!  And that's what's so hilarious now -- that a few IB posters are whining about the big bad EotP families who somehow are standing at the doorway swinging ax handles at them to keep them from enrolling in Hardy.

Sheesh!  If you want to blame someone, blame those chickenshit IB families from decades ago who didn't enroll.  They're the ones who left the space for other families to attend.  [/quote]

But don't blame the crack fueled dc government of the time that failed its residents by providing horrible schools!  I bet even the pompous pp would have been too chickenshit to enroll the kiddos.[/quote]Pp here.  Oh no, you can blame the dc government too.  I have no problem with that.  By why blame the people who send their kids OOB to a school [i]that has the space for them[/i]?  There is no crack-fueled DC government trying to keep you out (unless you know something about Muriel Bowser that I don't).  And again, the current OOB families are not standing at the door brandishing an axe handle trying to keep you out.  They're too busy leading their own lives to give you much thought. FWIW I sent my kid to Hardy in the mid 2000s and she and her friends survived and went on to good colleges.

If you don't want to send your kid to Hardy, don't.  I completely understand that.  It's not for everyone.  But have the gonads to take responsibility for your decision and stop blaming the people who were not afraid to take a spot that the previous IB families didn't want.[/quote]
