Hardy 6th grade IB parent: indeed my DC was asked by IB parents how she was doing at school with so many black peers... whether of not she was comfortable etc..If she was doing playdates (now hangouts) wit them...[/quote]

I think you are being absolutely honest here...and that makes me a little sad.[/quote]

However, many IB families who avoid Hardy happily enroll their kids in Latin (44% AA) and BASIS (48% AA).  Avoiding the AA demographic must not be the top priority for those families...[/quote]

I get that. I believe the people who make comments like this are most likely in the minority if they live in DC.[/quote]

Not really. PP here. I do not mean that racism is the only reason why IB parents do not send their kids to Hardy. But is certainly one of the reasons for many. They genuinely think their DCs will not be comfortable.

I mean, just ask any Hardy IB parent, they'll all confirm and elaborate. We've been talking extensively about this. [/quote]

And Hardy has a higher % of Blacks than those charters do, right?  and will continue to, unless more IB families opt for Hardy[/quote]
