[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My children attended Eaton and most (not all) of their friends were IB.  Some lived in expensive houses, some in attached houses and condos and some in apartments.  They differed in race, culture and economics, but they all wanted a good education for their children.  That is just not as likely at Hardy.[/quote]

So your kids managed to be friends with the 1 in 4 (now 1in 3) kids who live IB and avoid the 66-75% who come from eotp.  Slick. [/quote]

No.  I did not say that at all.  They had OOB friends as well, but to be honest the closest friends were the ones they walked to and from school with every day.  Is that a crime?[/quote]

And one of the advantages of having strong neighborhood schools is so that kids can find playmates who live close by, where they can walk over to each other's houses after school and do other things without the logistics of transportation and elaborate play dates.  This is one reason why we sent our kids to Eaton.  It was also great that they made friends who lived in other neighborhoods, too.[/quote]
