[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree.
I have always thought that the vivid animosity against Hardy in this thread can only come from people with some stakes in either the private school sector or charters. 
If you are an IB family, i.e. you own a real estate property in the area, you would see Hardy's recent dynamic with a favorable and supporting eye. Unless the undergoing efforts and positive results are harming your vested interests.

Exactly.  But one need only look at the number of pages (67 and counting) and views (almost 20k) to see that people are really watching this closely.  At Key, there are so many families for whom private would be really, really taxing . . . but there is also such peer pressure against Hardy.  [/quote]

We are one of those families, and would love for Hardy to become as alluring an option as Key itself. Do you foresee the peer pressure shifting as Hardy does?[/quote]

The Hyde & Stoddert families will lead the charge. The Key mommies are more stuck generally speaking. [/quote]

Because .... Lots of transient renters compared to key.  [/quote]

Sounds like you haven't been to Glover Park or Georgetown in a few decades.  [/quote]

You'd be wrong about that.  Those giant apartment buildings that line Wisconsin Ave? Yeah. [/quote]

Yes, just like the ones that line Connecticut (with students attending Eaton, Heart, Murch, Janney) and Mass (Mann, Janney). In addition, as you might have noticed if you had any familiarity with the area, Georgetown and Glover Park have many, many blocks of houses running from $700K (low end for GP) to many millions (mostly in Georgetown, but GP, for better or worse, now has houses on some blocks that go for 1mill+). Basically the same mix as other NW schools, but with the welcome addition at Stoddert of kids from Bolling Air Force base and several embassies.[/quote]
