[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to clarify something:  according to Pride, IF YOU ARE AT A FEEDER SCHOOL YOU ARE IB FOR HARDY. Somehow this whole IB OOB discussion has run off the rails. The parents who physically live (IB) near Hardy are dying to have Stoddert/Hyde kids attend regardless of where they live!![/quote]

If you re-read the early posts, PP, you'll see that the discussion was never framed as IB v. OOB, but rather feeder v. OOB.  We are well aware that many of the kids coming from feeders are not IB for those feeders nor for Hardy, but are nonetheless considered IB for enrollment purposes at Hardy.  However, we also recognize that, by virtue of coming from a feeder, those kids are more likely to be motivated and prepared and less likely to be disruptive.  The debate here has been more nuanced than you realize or care to admit.

The early feeder v. OOB posts on this thread stem from an information session at a Hardy feeder, where Pride made it clear that her plan for turning Hardy back into a neighborhood school is to minimize (non-feeder) OOB enrollment in the 6th grade.  I think she said that she made only 10 OOB spots available in the upcoming lottery -- which will probably all go to OOB siblings -- to buy more time to recruit families from the feeders.

The plan for turning Hardy around, as explained by Pride herself, is to lure feeder families back by clamping down on (non-feeder) OOB enrollment.  Don't shoot the messenger.[/quote]
