[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting stats, pp.  Thanks for posting.  Yeah, you should definitely not send your kids there.

But how about not sending your kids there and not whining about it? I have no problem with people who feel that Hardy is not the right environment for their child and want to send the kid elsewhere.  But the whining that goes on on this thread and practically every other thread about Hardy? So tiresome.[/quote]

You're right.[b]  I guess I am whining about the fact that my IB middle school is 87% OOB[/b] and 55% FARMs.  What I'd like is for DCPS to take decisive action to fix this situation.

Either Hardy is a neighborhood school or it is a city-wide school.

If it's a neighborhood school, DCPS should cap OOB enrollment at something like 25% so that IB families have a reasonable chance of turning the school around within a couple of years.

If it's a city-wide school, DCPS should eliminate the neighborhood preference. At least those of us zoned for Hardy could then lobby to start a real neighborhood school in a new building somewhere else.

NP, your logic is off, off, off. There would not be OOB slots if IB students enrolled and took the spots. IB students always get first preference for opens seats.  All unoccupied seats/slots are then given to OOB students.  Are you advocating that DCPS should leave the seats vacant when IB students won't occupy them?  [/quote]
