How did they get rid of the pre-2010 faculty with the "old DC" attitude? Are they all gone ?[/quote]

In 2011 I was told by a Hardy teacher, to my face and quite forcefully, that as an in-boundary parent I had no right to try and change the direction of the school. That teacher is still listed on the staff directory at:

Name the  teacher, or it did not happen![/quote]

I served on the committee that helped select Mary Stefanus to be Hardy principal in 2011, and we were sworn to confidentiality about the proceedings. So I can't name the teacher. In that process I heard and saw a lot of crap from Hardy teachers, and they're all still at the school. I can tell you that none of the teachers named by initials in an earlier post were involved.

In the life of a middle school, 2011 can be considered ancient history -- no student who was at the school then is still there, very few if any parents remain. The school has had five principals since 2010. But in the career of a teacher, three years is nothing. If a teacher makes it clear that she is willing to use children to press her adult grievances, I don't want that teacher ever having anything to do with my kids, and I don't believe someone like that is going to change her stripes.

The process was led by an Instructional Superintendent, one of the Chancellor's deputies. If he could sit and listen to that crap, and three years later those teachers are still employed, it's hard to believe that DCPS is serious about improving the school.[/quote]

Tell us at least the initial of her first name!!!
You agreed to confidentiality about the selection process, not about any remarks made during the discussions!![/quote]
