[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here - yes DC is in 7th grade. We feel we had done an enormous disservice to DC by not realizing until late January of 6th grade how bad the situation is and then too late for 7th grade private school admissions (not that we can afford it, so looking for higher-paying job with less flexibility to make switching a viable option). We are adding enrichment coaching, creative writing and art. Hoping the coaching helps push DC to go beyond the low bar set for students in the overwhelmed classrooms - e.g. no regular 5-paragraph essay writing, big complaint of parents.) We may have an option for an 8th grade private though it would mean a long commute and lots of catch-up on material presented to current 7th graders. Upcoming sibling (5th grade feeder) is applying only to private schools though Basis would likely be a good fit for this particular DC so we will enter the lottery. Leadership at Hardy needs radical change if the promises and vision sold to feeder school families over the past three years are to be realized. It's too bad a mid-year shakeup can't happen - or could it? These are such important years, and [b]for kids applying to privates for 9th, there could be some real issues about readiness[/b].

This is not Hardy's priority, and it shouldn't be. Its job is to prepare students for Wilson's 9th grade. [/quote]
