Bloviating aside, this is all besides the main point. Hardy is already good enough for IB students if they actually look at the correct numbers (concerns about looking only at numbers notwithstanding). There are indications greater numbers of parents are realizing this and sending their children to Hardy. This makes the main point more obvious and, hence, makes coordination easier for those who continue to demand coordination. [/quote]

I mean, that's not wrong -- but lots of parents *aren't* sending their kids to Hardy, too. So obviously there are other factors involved -- and you could quantify them if you wanted to (e.g. the perceived gain that comes from the contacts that you make in the private school system, as a PP mentioned).

I mean, your point is that MC white kids will do okay academically in public school, right? That's not news; I assume parents who choose private have other motivations. And it's "perceptions and feelings" that are driving that. (AKA people are not perfect rational actors, which I think is one of the assumptions of GT, no?)[/quote]
