[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hardy teacher here - expect many more staff departures after this recent development. No one wants to teach in a building where a small group of privileged parents have been empowered and now think they are going to control our school. Hardy just isn’t that special (there are hundreds of schools in DC that have vacancies). I’m out.[/quote]

The number of parents that showed up to the meeting and then signed the petition is hardly a “small group” and most are hardly privileged. And if you really are a teacher in a classroom at Hardy, you will understand the concerns that motivated their actions perfectly.[/quote]

This is the problem with upper NW parents. They think they are the experts on everything and are smarter than the adults with education degrees and hundreds of collective years of experience working in schools….The building had issues this year, yes. But it was not that extreme that the principal couldn’t be allowed to finish the last 21 days of the school year.

This is completely toxic and undermines every adult in the building. And we want no parts of it.[/quote]

Yah, another Hardy teacher here super grossed out by the entire situation. Thanks for treating our community like your personal sims game[/quote]

As a parent who signed the petition, I'm kinda grossed out by it too.

But change was desperately needed, and there was only one option available for anything to change next year. So here we are.[/quote]
