[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There seems to be a Hearst rapid response team hanging on this Janney thread, ready to counter any statement about Hearst, like the suggestion that Janney twin with Hearst.  Wondering how the other half lives?  :)[/quote]

Nope. Just amazed at how everyone thinks they can just take or annex or occupy our fantastic school without considering our kids' needs as if the Janney parents just say something and it's done. That false air of superiority won't fit it into our school environment. [/quote]

This comment is pretty revealing.  Much of the postings have been about redrawing boundaries so that Hearst becomes more of a neighborhood/IB school, thereby relieving overcrowding at Janney.  But it's clear that the Hearst community would view this as an "occupation."  They have no interest in Hearst becoming a primarily neighborhood-based school because they want Hearst to remain a Distrct-wide school that just happens to be located in the neighborhood.[/quote]

Or, you are reading too much into a notoriously fickle and specious anonymous message board.

Many parents at Hearst, and parents in the neighborhood with kids entering soon, would of course love for the in-boundary zone to be increased. Zero parents I have spoken to at Hearst would see any downside to increasing the in-boundary zone. Any concern about an "occupation" is classic DCUM-spin (by you) that could not be further from the truth. I also believe and know to be true that any Janney parents I have met are nice people. Things are not always what they seem on DCUM.[/quote]
