[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hardy sparks such ire because:
- a lot of the IB families go private but really can't afford to. The rise of Hardy is threatening their stream of logic . . .
- other IB families think that if they diss hardy enough they'll get a new middle school . . . Which is not happening
- some charter school boosters don't want a successful hardy to siphon off a lot of high testing Latin/basis students.

So there you have it. The vast reasonable majority (based on my key playground observations) are relieved Hardy is on the upswing and hope it succeeds. [/quote]

How about the fact that most parents in the IB community just don't feel that Hardy is up to the standards that they would expect of a middle school?  I mean Deal may be the best general middle school in DC but it's not Exeter, so how hard is it to be as good as Deal?   But Hardy still lags significantly behind so IB parents consider it to be a "bad deal" (pun intended_.[/quote]

Yeah, we get it.  But it remains a mystery why those parents seem more focused on beating Hardy up and spreading false rumors and misinformation then in investing the time and effort to bring Hardy up to their standards.  [/quote]

Denying that problems exist doesn't get them solved. [/quote]
