[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the interested IB parents are so interested, are they meeting with the Hardy PTA? Why are they not influencing the decisions about uniforms or dress code? It seems like changing this will help flip the school more quickly, then I bet you would rapidly have parents trying to lottery in from the Deal boundary. Speaking as a Deal parent, I can say that having a smaller and rigorous option that still feeds to Wilson would be very popular.

They have tried in the past, with some success, and some failures.    In the past, one problem has been that they are very disrespectful towards the parents actually at Hardy, not consulting with them but going around them, and talking about them and treating them as if they are inferior and not entitled to their own opinions about the school their children attend.  However, I emphasize that is in the past - in recent years Principal Pride and the PTO and current Hardy parents have had very good relations with prospective IB parents.   I think the real reason that the uniform question does not come up in meetings with the PTA and with Principal Pride is that with the exception of a few anonymous people on this board, most IB parents really don't care about the uniforms.
