[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here we go again, in-boundary parents trying to rationalize their irrational fear of OOB kids.

If you want your kids to go to their neighborhood school, just send them and get involved with the school. Your kid's test scores will be just fine. They will learn a lot in class and also benefit from being friends with kids from other parts of the city. Really.

If not, don't send them but please stop making up all kinds of ridiculous reasons. Just admit that you want your kids to go to a school with kids who look like them. Plenty of options around the city for you.

OOB kids are just that, kids. Their families obviously care about their education.They are goofy middle school aged children.  If you go to an open house or go to an event and actually talk to the kids and their families, you will see that there is nothing to fear, but lots to gain.

DCPS has been bending over backwards to placate this vocal in-boundary parent group. Enough already.  [/quote]

Please allow me to request clarification of your position, then:  In 2013, math proficiency scores for Hardy were 67%.  Are you saying that there is no PRACTICAL distinction, for purposes of understanding the educational environment at Hardy, between 67% and, say, 88% proficiency in Middle School Math?

Because I think a lot of parents DO see an important distinction between proficiency scores like that.  Based upon your prior comments, I would infer you believe that parents having that opinion are, in your mind, "irrational" or "fearful" of, I don't know, something?  Please tell me, what exactly is irrational or fearful about seeing an important distinction between those two data points?

Thanks.[/quote]
