[quote=Anonymous]"But many parents say that what they want most are high-performing and academically challenging schools. They want schools where students are disciplined if they misbehave, and they want vibrant school communities that welcome and engage parents. Some said they did not even consider sending their children to their neighborhood DCPS middle schools."

The WP article is not just about Hardy: all parents who are motivated by "achievement" want challenging classes and an environment of discipline to be offered by their kids' school.  DCPS is missing the boat if it truly wishes to attract achievement-oriented kids to Hardy, starting with the 6th grade curriculum that is currently empty of accelerated courses.  Same problem with Wilson in 9th grade:  mainstreaming classes is a good way to prevent good students from seeking a seat there.  Hopefully Bowser reads the article.[/quote]
