[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she really is limiting OOB spots when there some available, that is sickening.  If IB families think that is the only way to make Hardy another Deal that is more sickening.[/quote]

Why is it sickening?  Why don't the OOB families work to improve their IB schools the way Hardy's IB families have? Hardy is a neighborhood school.  If you want your kids to go there, rent within the boundary.

The OOB process has created a city-wide sense of entitlement to neighborhood schools WOTP.  If you don't believe in neighborhood schools, apply to one of the many city-wide charter schools.   [/quote]

Considering Hardy is 11% IB it seems like the OOB kids/parents are leading the school to improve.   :roll: [/quote]
Good one! The parents  whose IB kids are yet to enter Hardy are the ones "leading the school to improve".[/quote]

Let me help you: there a significantly large number IB parents with kids currently attending Hardy, who have younger kids in the pipeline for the next year or the following years, and who are aware of the areas for improvement of the school, and who are committed to making the current positive school experience an even better one for their next kid.[/quote]

If there is 11% IB, there are not "significantly large number".  The school, today, is a solid school with much promise.  But let's not forget that the bright OOB kids made it what it is today and any improvement should be credited to being done on the backs of the OOB kids and not the new IB families that are now opting in (sure, they can help with making it better).  I understand the need of a neighborhood school and we do need more Deals, but there is a way to do it with tact.  It is the OOB kids that kept the doors of Hardy and Deal (6+ years ago) open, give credit where credit is due and stop letting the "trailblazers WOTP" take all the credit.[/quote]
