Really? That's great news, unless you're kidding.

yes - rumor has it the entire Mann class has made a pact. They are saying "no" to Privates this year and enrolling at Hardy.

OP here. Wow, some interesting posts. The parents I know of are planning to send their kids to Hardy because they like Hardy. They're not doing lotteries. Anyway, any other in-bounds feeders have significant kids going to Hardy?

What is "a large group" exactly? The lotteries haven't even happened yet, which makes your post look suspiciously boostery.

What do lotteries have to do with current fifth graders going to their matter of right MS?

Firstly, because that isn't necessarily their matter of right MS. There are OOB students at Stoddert, if there are changes to the boundaries and/or OOB process, their situations could change.

More importantly, because if they get into Latin or Basis, the calculus will very likely change. Parents are notorious for encouraging each other they'll all be in it together, and then leaving as soon as there is a better opportunity available.

"Boostery" ???? Did you really type that???

Yes. I could have said "booster-like" or "booster-ish" - it was faster to type. I see you have not addressed the actual substance of the post, just the employment of a made-up but clearly understandable word.

So, in a sense you are conceding the point. After all, "If you can't argue the case on its merits, you resort to personal attacks."

alot of kids have already left stoddert to go the charters in 5th grade...

Good, all the more spots for the rest of us!

They wont go to Hardy if they lottery in to somewhere preferable. Nobody gets in to Deal on the OOB lottery these days, so I guess its charters...
