[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^NP here. I'm having a hard time understanding this: why is it when IB parents say that their concern is the educational quality, that Hardy parents ignore that and claim it's about something else? Do you think we're lying?[/quote]

Don't be stupid.  Just 'cause peple said the Civil War was about states'r rights didn't make it so - it was about slavery.

Read the whole thread.  It will open your eyes.   "Eduational quality" is a statement that is a proxy for a whole bunch of complaints - some race-based, some legitimate educational quality-related, some in a whole different category- that cannot be fixed by making whatever improvements to "educational quality" sought by IB parents.

I'm not being stupid. I'm being honest (obviously something you're not used to). This is an anonymous forum. Why would I lie? If parents say it's about race, then it's about race. If they say it's about class, it's about class. If they say it's about educational quality, then it's not? That's stupid. How are we supposed to have a real discussion if we can't take what is said at face value?[/quote]

to figure out what people, besides taking it at face value, it could help to have them define what educational "educational quality" means to them.  More experienced teachers? higher scores?  more opportunities for advanced students?  higher SES? 20%+ white?[/quote]
