[quote=Anonymous]We're IB for Hardy too and are happy to see more IB families signing up. But that does not make us "scared whitey" racists. Please folks. We could care less if a large portion of the school is made up of motivated, respectful OOB students. But we are indeed cheered that our DS may be able to move on to a neighborhood middle school with a group of elementary peers who have grown up together. Who wouldn't want that? That hope does not exclude other students from OOB. Might there be a tipping point at which time there won't be OOB seats available? Sure. But I do think that IB students should be the priority as a quality of life issue for all, commute-wise and neighborhood cohesiveness- wise. Are there racially-segregated neighborhoods, however unfortunate that may be? Yes. But let's integrate though housing policies rather than by shipping kids all around town every day. And let's work toward strong schools in every neighborhood.[/quote]
