[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]wow, just wow.  the level of privilege and IB vs OOB snobbery is just amazing.  Those of you considering Hardy from your IB homes should be kissing the feet of your OOB friends who put their children in Hardy and kept it alive and well for your princelings to enter when you felt it was now good enough..or when you could no longer afford GDS, NCS etc…..

I am just so amazed by how ridiculous you all sound.[/quote]

Well I'm amazed at how ridiculous you sound.

First you bemoan "IB vs OOB snobbery" and then you lay on the us vs. them rhetoric. Here's a tip: people will respect you more if you view them as individuals rather than members of groups. Every parent wants to do what's best for their children. It's not like OOB families sacrificed the future of their children by sending them to Hardy so the school would stay open, they did it because it was the best option available. Today's IB families and OOB have nothing in common with the ones from five years ago. Nobody owes anybody anything.[/quote]

+1.

Also, I wonder how much traction Mary Cheh might have gotten on a new middle school in the Palisades if all those noble self-sacrificing OOB families hadn't kept Hardy on life support.

Relatedly, has anyone proposed moving Hardy back to the Hamilton EC (how many current OOB students are in proximity to that facility?) and opening a new Ward 3 MS in its stead? Or is that a political nonstarter?[/quote]
