[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't Pride looking to limit the 6th grade to just IB families and thinks she has Kaya's blessing?  Rumor has it she wants to under enroll, keeping OOB students out to try to appease the IB folks.

Or are those just rumors? The form seems not limited to IB families. [/quote]

Hardy IB parent here here, sending my kid to Hardy 6th grade next year. I find your comment annoying and very misplaced. None of us -- and I feel confident enough to talk on behalf of the 10+ families sending their kids to Hardy from our feeder ES -- needs to be appeased or feel in any way threatened by the large share of OOB kids. Before Ms Pride's appointment, the School needed some very obvious adjustments in various curricular and managerial aspects, which have nothing to do with the OOBs. We worked through a feeder school cut-cutting Committee and with Ms Pride to fix these shortcomings. We are fully satisfied with the outcome. Thus we are sending more IB kids this year.

We are too smart, and take care of our kid's present and future too much to be appeased by propaganda.[/quote]

I wish there were more posts like this one.  It's not clear how many people are engaged in it, but there's clearly a campaign here on DCUM to appease IB families in just this way and simultaneously make OOB families feel unwelcome.  I almost feel guilty about the negative feelings I've developed toward the principal based solely on this campaign, because it seems unfair to judge her based on what some anonymous person says is her plan.

Maybe some of your ire should be directed at the people who repeatedly express their belief that Hardy will only be acceptable once OOB families are gone.   Parent involvement in the curriculum and management of the school is so much more encouraging and appealing than all the +1s on limiting enrollment.[/quote]
