[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hearst is changing a lot. They can't even accommodate all the OOB kids with siblings anymore in PK. It's becoming much, much more IB and much less diverse. From my perspective, that's a loss to the school (though obviously not anyone's fault).[/quote]

Diversity is nice but if I had to choose, I’ll take rising academic quality.[/quote]

Changing demographic does not mean academic quality goes up. [/quote]

I know a number of OOB families at Hearst. The mothers have graduate degrees, and are often better educated than the law firm partner's wives who live IB.[/quote]

So this creates diversity exactly how?[/quote]

Short answer:  It doesn't.  But "diversity" sounds great as a buzz word for continued access to WOTP schools.[/quote]

Astonishingly, black people with advanced degrees do exist. I know, I didn’t believe it either, but it turns out to be true. You can look it up online! You may not have encountered them as they tend to send their children to Hearst.[/quote]

Why don’t they use their considerable talents and advanced degrees and invest some sweat equity in improving the quality of their neighborhood schools?
