[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ stuart Hobson and Hardy are both reasonable safety schools and highly likely you could get a spot in 6th[/quote]

Having lived across the street from Hobson until recently, I don't see it as a "reasonable safety school."  No way.  Believe it or not, police storm in to break up playground fights, with knives involved on occasion.  I watched a parent get handcuffed on a squad car parked outside the school, last year with dozens of kids watching.  Parents thronging the nearby sidewalk shouted "drug dealer!"

Hobson kids are often seriously rowdy when they come and go, hitting, tripping and pushing one another like mad.  You see 8th grade girls dressed like hookers, to the extent possible in uniform, and hear plenty of foul language, which kids shout across E Street.  Even if the honors classes are as challenging as parents claim, the peer group clearly isn't going to be acceptable to many (most?) Brent parents.

Didn't you just describe every middle school in town, outside of Deal and a few select charters?[/quote]
