[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the principal needs to get rid of the uniforms and more proactively recruit community IB members. It would turn around within 3 years, so fast. Don't build yet another school. That just perpetuates the whole IB/OOB situation which is not how most school systems are run.[/quote]

I live IB and prefer the uniforms. So there are different views.  The reason our neighbors don't send their kids to Hardy is more about need to be at a private they believe impresses their law firm partners than anything else.  The folks clamoring for a changed Hardy are subject to the usual forces that drive movement away from the city.  Small houses and growing families.  Better test results at suburban schools.  Crime issues.  Taxes.  Need to have instate tuition at good university. Except some have enough $ to work around these issues that otherwise grow in importance as families grow in age and size.  The vast majority of that group fit the second sentence above.  So yeah I'm doubtful about any major changes at Hardy.  Let's be real and work with what we have.  [/quote]

Oh drop the holier-than-thou attitude. You have no idea why people do or do not send their children to Hardy. Let's be above baseless speculation and not resort to (implied) character assassination. There is plenty of good things about Hardy. By my account, things continue to improve. The complaints people have are legitimate, so don't discount them. It undermines reasoned discussion.

I also like uniforms. I'm also in-bounds. If I send my children to a private school, it will have nothing to do with impressing my (non-existent) law partners.
