[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love that Hardy parents are suddenly wealthy. Hardy families are going to be very excited to learn that![/quote]

Especially the 40% who are economically disadvantaged. What a country![/quote]

Well duh. Not those. Look at the 60%who aren’t. I’m sure they fit into the upper middle class and probably the top 5% of income nationally. So to pretend otherwise is dishonest. Hardy parents, Kishan Putta, and Elizabeth ‘Louboutin’ Miller propping up poor kids for their own political benefit. Shameful. [/quote]

Hardy has some UMC kids (less so than the boundary, but some) and some poor kids. The stats are there and you can go and find them if you care more about reality than false rhetoric. What you'll see if you bother to find them is that the demographics of Hardy mirror those of the diverse city it represents. In a deeply segregated city, that alone makes it an exceptional institution. But it also brings challenges. And those challenges are exacerbated by the very raw deal it has received thanks to DPR and Maret.[/quote]

Or exacerbated by the poor planning of DCPS and Hardy leadership. Was this sudden growth out of nowhere? Did Hardy leadership try to expand sports offerings without proper spaces? Did they plan with DCPS to grow the school and athletic offerings with spaces they had available? It seems to be a mismanagement from Hardy leadership on what they could offer, understanding what their population would be, and how to balance that with facilities. That’s not Maret’s fault. That’s Hardy and DCPS’s fault. There are plenty of DCPS schools that have amazing facilities. Jaw dropping indoor pools, turf fields, tennis courts. And they planned for that growth. Why did one of the wealthiest DC neighborhood public schools completely fail in planning for that growth? Who’s to blame? It’s not private school families or schools that are to blame for that negligence. It seems your anger is misplaced. [/quote]
