[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope, it will be fine. If the current crop of outraged parents leave, H-A will attract many very engaged new families (OOB and IB) eager to partake of an upgraded, appealing school environment.[/quote]

So, after two years, H-A will attract new IB families that currently opt not to send their kids to H-A? These families will be attracted to the school because it will now posses a horrendously ugly new building and a mutant gym in a space that is now occupied by a very well-utilized kickball court, jungle gym, swings, and a basketball court? Surely, you can't be serious.

And this, of course, assumes that the quality of education at H-A holds throughout the swing. Given what the cross-town swings will likely do to enrollment, parental engagement, commute times, and the other myriad factors that factor into how well schools perform, that's a herculean assumption.

[quote=Anonymous]You may find your other options not much more attractive than two years of a not unreasonable commute for a fantastic neighborhood school thereafter. You might even grow fond of Meyer in the meantime. [/quote]

Is this DME Niles that I'm talking to? H-A will be a "fantastic neighborhood school thereafter" because - and I realize I'm not repeating myself - it will thereafter possess a horrendously ugly new building and a mutant gym in a space that is now occupied by a well-utilized kickball court, jungle gym, swings, and a basketball court? Surely, you can't be serious.[/quote]
