[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, the only ones who care about the uniforms remaining at Hardy are "concerned onlookers" on this board who for some reason care about preserving the "unique culture" of Hardy.  Are they Alums?  Why do they care?[/quote]

IB Hardy family with 4 kids.  I have visited Hardy and talked to existing students, administration, teachers, and existing parents (I wonder how many parents commenting on this board have actually taken those steps.  Most of what I see on this board is not a reflection of what I have actually seen on my own).  I have been very impressed and look forward to sending my children to Hardy.  I could care less about uniforms.  I care about the quality of education and experience for my children. [/quote]

Right, and your view is considered and logical.  But you already plan to send your kids to Hardy.  Hardy's challenge is to address those issues that keep the overwhelming majority of its IB families from considering enrolling their kids there in the first place.  Why not easily take one of those issues off the table?[/quote]

Actually, I believe your point is incorrect.  Hardy had about a 50% adoption rate from the feeder schools this year.  That adoption rate as well as the size of the feeder school 5th grade is growing at a substantial pace.  The statement "keeping the overwhelming majority of IB families from considering enrolling" is absolutely factually untrue.  I think the Hardy student and parent population should vote on uniforms, as they have in the past.  If they want to keep them then keep them.  If they want to get rid of them then get rid of them.  That should be an internal decision as it has been in the past.  So far the vote has been to keep uniforms. [/quote]

In 2010-11 Key had three kindergarten classes with a total of 54 kids. If you believe what was posted up-thread, in the fall of 2015 five Key graduates enrolled at Hardy. That's less than a 10% adoption rate.
