[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's one thing to take a big risk yourself, but it's quite another to take a huge risk with your child's education.  The middle school years are crucial.  How is a parent of a 6th grader supposed to react when you say, "if you go here, it will be a better school in five years."  [/quote]

You are ALWAYS taking risks with your child's education. The top ranked suburban school can have the one bad teacher who turns your kid off to the subject they would otherwise have excelled in.   It can have the gang of mean girls who sends your kid into a full blown clinical depression. There ARE no guarantees. Period.   Its all a matter of tradeoffs.

Some IB families are already making the tradeoff to go to Hardy.  It is, after all, probably the second most highly regarded MS in the District.

If the percent of IB families goes from 13% to 20%, probably some who wouldn't make the tradeoff at 13% will be inclined to do so.

I wonder if the people making so much effort to discourage people from choosing to attend Hardy are not OOB families afraid of losing their slots? [/quote]

Perhaps, but you try to avoid risks.  I am not an OOB parent.  I'm in bound, but my kids are already in high school -- private because of Hardy.[/quote]
