[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If even half of folks in-boundary for Hardy sent their kids to Hardy, that scholastic year would be better quality than Deal, overnight.  With a few exceptions, like sports and (ahem) uniforms, that is.  Just send your kids there, all of you, and you'll never lose any sleep over it.[/quote]

Was this intended to be hyperbole?   Is there something about the 5th graders living in a bungalow IB for Key that are better quality than the fifth graders living in an identical Sears kit house bungalow IB for Lafayette?

If so, please tell!   We are looking to buy just such a home (1920s era wood Sears kit house bungalow with porch) and are open to location w/in DC.    I  would love to hear how the kids at Stoddert bring "better quality" to a middle school than the kids at Murch or Janney do. [/quote]

Ward 3 kids are basically interchangeable in terms of competence.  Hardy has better scale than Deal's college campus.  Main difference, that.[/quote]

Two obsservations here:
The main difference is that Hardy has a 40 year history of being a racial flashpoint. Everything else pales in comparison.[/quote]

Ex. A being the way the Hardy old guard is so attached to the school uniforms.[/quote]

1.  This thread - like most Hardy threads - has quickly run off the rails.

2. For the umpteenth time, there is no mysterious Hardy old guard.  There are parents - IB and OOB - that send their kids to Hardy.  Their kids are there for three years, during which some parents are active in the school PTO.  Then those parents move on to high school and other opportunities.  They - rightfully - end their involvement with Hardy when their kids move on.   Stop acting like there is some organized group acting like they want thes school to be like it was in 1975 [or 1985, or 1995, or 2005...].  There is only parents who want a good education for their children.      When you refer to currents parents as some kind of "old guard" all it says is that you are too lazy to bother  visiting the school and talking to current parents.[/quote]
