[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hearst parents will be very vocal about maintaining small class sizes. No school should increase class size just to take in more OOB. That is counterproductive.[/quote]

I don't see Hearst necessarily taking in "more" OOB.  But it's quite likely that they will keep the very considerable number of OOB spots constant so as not to upset political expecations, when they should be managing the OOB number down as IB enrollment goes up and as classes "graduate."  The result will be that Hearst gets bigger.  [/quote]

vicious circle[/quote]

And while folks may tout the number and percentage of IB students going up, the substantial number of OOB students will stay at least constant and overall enrollment will continue to climb.[/quote]

How exactly do you *think* you know this to be the case? Are you a parent at Hearst? Have you ever even visited the school? Had a conversation with the principal ? Attended an LSAT or PTA meeting at Hearst?  I have to believe the answes to all of the above are 'no' because in my case the answers are all 'yes' and what I have heard consistently for 4 years is there is no intention to increase enrollment above the fire Marshall- determined max capacity of 325 (inclusive of the soon to be open expanded facility for gym/library.  Not to mention I have never heard principal even hint at 'political pressure' around OOB enrollment.  [/quote]
