[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now I figured out exactly why white northeast liberals are worse racists than white conservative southerners.  White northeast liberals surgically segregate undesirable races out if their lives while southern conservatives integrate with the natural friction but at least they integrate .[/quote]

Having lived in both places I can say that was not my experience AT ALL.

Anyway what are the other criticsms of Hardy besides it's ib rate, it's size and it's uniform policy? [/quote]

You missed the most important one. Test scores, which though not perfect,are the best measure of education quality available.

I am very happy Hardy has a stable staff and seems poised to make progress. We sent our oldest to private during the principal churn years, but there is a chance we could send the younger one to Hardy.[/quote]

Based on discussion on the other thread, some of the faculty is a perhaps little too stable, including a militant, angry English teacher who was a vocal ringleader against Chancellor Rhee's efforts to recruit more IB students to Hardy.  One wonders why she is still working there.

The teacher you're referring to was one of the best teachers my (white, IB) child had, at Hardy or any other school.   She treated every student fairly, made every student work hard, had high expectations of every student, and taught them a ton.  That's why she's still working.   Please stop slandering her.[/quote]Wow, sounds like she was working really hard to stop IB students from coming to Hardy.  IB students must be lazy, then -- too scared of this teacher's high expectations!  ;-)[/quote]

Maybe they finally  convinced her that the Barry era really was over and made her go on Prozac.[/quote]

Except there's some great stuff in the City Paper about how Chris Berry wants to "Bring the Berry Back!"  One can only hope -- this city was only any fun when people were scared to move here.[/quote]
