[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sheep like? Hardly. We made the decision to go private back in 3rd grade when Pope was finally on the way out but DCPS was talking about a part time principal. No regrets here.[/quote]

That may have been an entirely reasonable decision based on a known set of facts when your student was in 3rd grade.  What drives me nuts as a Hardy booster and a Hardy parent are the parents who make decisions today based on some rumor they heard about Pope five years ago. [/quote]

Recently, many parents were scared off by one of the DME's "options" to remove Hardy as a feeder to Wilson.  Based on the facts, that's not an unreasonable fear.  I expect many working on Hardy's behalf felt kneecapped by that proposal -- as a result, it probably caused a setback of their efforts by at least a year.[/quote]

Not really. We are all still there, enrolling as IB for next year sixth grade. We got all the needed reassurances from the DME, members of the Committee (Frumin) and many others (Catania) . Hardy will continue feeding into Wilson.[/quote]

Just FYI, Catania has been saying the same thing to all parents who might be re-zoned to a worse school under the DME proposals. You're not special - this is not about Hardy specifically. He just gets it, and I believe him. But Catania has to get elected. If I were you I would not be so certain just based on these assurances. If Bowser is elected no-one really knows what she will do because she herself does not know, despite her recent statements.

While Bowser does not know what she would do, she will be bound by practical constraints, just like Catania. There is no practical way in which Hardy is removed from Wilson. The only path that would remove Hardy requires building a new HS in Ward 2/3. Many of you claim this is a complete non-starter. That may be so. But that means that there is no remotely feasible way to change the HS into which Hardy feeds.
