Please ask yourselves - what would we need to lie about? How does that benefit us? Our jobs are safe. We don’t win or lose anything by defending PJ at this point. If the building was up in flames as the hysterical PTO would like you to believe, why would any of us jump on an internet forum to defend said school? If the building was the dumpster fire they’d like you to believe, why would people continue to send their kids to school there day after day? If kids were in classrooms not learning or doing anything meaningful, why are your children continuing to grow academically and be super engaged all day at school and with homework?

I believe you would continue to go to work even if there were awful things happening. ESPECIALLY if you are getting good to great impact ratings. And I bet he was handing those out to keep you all happy and quiet.

Loud and WRONG. PJ only did the impact evaluations of a third of staff in the building. And I definitely wasn’t in that group.

And how utterly disrespectful to the teachers at Hardy the parents claim to love so much. Your complete lack of respect for our profession reeks through your post. And trust me your children pick up on this as well. Which is another reason why some of the kids are out of control- how can they respect us when they are taught at home that we are just glorified babysitters?

You seem extremely threatened and almost panicked at the idea of outside accountability.

"Teachers" like above hate the idea of a strong administrator coming in who might hold them to account. Those teachers who defend PJ are facing the loss of their freedom to not do their jobs free of consequence. Liberally taking off tons of time, not entering grades as is expected, effectively addressing learning loss, etc. School principals who come in and buddy up to their staff get walked all over.

I went to school in a third world country, and I have a kid who will most likely attend Hardy in a year (if we can’t afford to move by then). The things that are so casually mentioned here, like teachers watching movies during class, teachers calling kids names, etc, are just shocking. And the rhetoric that it is racist for parents to protest against this, is even more shocking. WTF.

Hardy parent here. Upwards of 10 teachers already made the decision to leave because of the issues this year under PJ. Many of us had begun exploring other options to get our kids out of the school next year. The change was desperately needed.

Imagine the reckoning you’ll have when 10 more teachers announce they’re leaving because they don’t want to be a part of the Hardy PTO circus.

Shaking in my boots. LOL. Try again

Honestly, all you are doing is convincing me (not a Hardy parent) that Hardy has deeply dysfunctional teachers and the parents were correct to organize. In case it hadn’t occurred to you, supervising teachers is the main role of a principal. Your unhinged and toxic posts have absolutely convinced me that Hardy needs a strong administrator.

x1000 knowing this person is out their shaping young minds is a depressing thought

Different Hardy teacher here.
I think I've got it now
Principal: out of control
Teachers: either unhinged or toxic
Parents: virtuous and without fault.

Yea because all the teachers at Hardy took off a month of school on a whim to go on a beach vacation mid year. Sorry our personal lives, family bereavement, and health don’t revolve around your previous snowflakes.

Quite certain that any teachers that leave in response to PJ leaving will not be missed.

They have no backbone. They don’t know how to do their jobs.

Or, just maybe, race has nothing to do with

The Deal principal is Black also. And most parents respect and admire her despite some of the problems Deal has

That's such an easy thing to say, but the reality is that qualified teachers get scooped up immediately, whether you like their personal beliefs or not. With the position I teach and experience/reviews I can go anywhere in the district I want. By this point, good schools are already deep in the hiring process so I'm not so sure Hardy, which is now in a leadership vacuum, will have it together in time to hire quality replacements for those of us who have the audacity to disagree with the parent mob.

+1 and it’s obvious that it’s 1 or 2 unhinged teachers on here who are crazy. Very bad representation of the school IMO

THIS. Anyone with a contrary opinion to the parents must be a babbling lunatic or a terrible teacher or both.

I think only the one rage-filled teacher poster here has been described as "unhinged" and "toxic."

Most Hardy teachers are great. Some suck, but the majority are capable and professional.

What I find intriguing is that rage-poster clearly hates Hardy parents and yet is incensed that they don't respect her. I see no mystery here.

I’m a teacher at a different school.
I hope these are not real teachers on here posting because their comments are pretty shocking and unprofessional. Sometimes fake posters claim to be teachers. I’m sorry for the bad year experienced by Hardy students and I hope next year is much better. I teach HS and students coming from weak, chaotic middle school environments make our jobs so much harder. And cell phones need to be absolutely controlled in middle schools. Most teenagers need strict limits enforced as they cannot manage cell phone use by themselves. It is a huge problem at the high school level
