[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, let me get this straight: if someone drives their child across the city to attend DCI, they are a motivated parent who will contribute significantly to the school and who has an investment in their child's education, right?  But if someone drives their child across the city to attend Hardy, they are interlopers who will bring the test scores down, right?

I've never understood the inherent contradiction identified above.  Why is OOB automatically bad?  IMHO, Eaton was turned around by motivated OOB parents, who are now no longer welcome at the school now that they made it cool.[/quote]

My (IB) kids went to Eaton.  Many of the OOB parents were great, but others were resistant to adding enrichment programs and other offerings.  They were afraid that it would attract more IB kids and displace OOB kids over time.[/quote]

The opposite is true at Hardy - the OOB parents are supportive of adding enrichment offerings, honors classes, etc.   Nobody at Hardy - IB or OOB - has complained about this.*

*Please don't respond to this fact by citing what is now ancient history from 2010-2011.  It is not relevant to the Hardy community today.[/quote]And it wasn't true in 2011 either except in the mind of a paranoid DCUM poster who obsesses about it. ~former Hardy OOB mom again. [/quote]

I wasn't here at that time. What happened?[/quote]
