[quote=Anonymous]Most - emphasizing "most" - of the parents I know are concerned about academic proficiency -- meaning they don't give a flip about whether a Hardy student lives in Ward 3 or not; they care about prospective peers' proficiency. Those who understand the academic issue know that "OB" students who attend Hardy feeders are proficient-to-advanced students. Those are the students they want to stay in the feeder system, along with the rest of their peers in the Hardy feeders. But I must admit that I think SOME parents IB for Hardy are counting white faces when they make their assessment. This makes me extremely uncomfortable; to be honest, I think it is racist (or maybe just willfully ignorant of the academic issues) and all I can say to buffer my realization is that I believe it is a minority of parents who think this way.[/quote]
