[quote=Anonymous][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]

I'm glad you "know" that now -- but that present belief (you're not 1000% sure, are you?) doesn't help the parents who had to plan for their decision months ago; and it doesn't excuse the incompetent decision to include the idea as part of the DME's "options" in the first place.  And who knows what happens if Bowser gets elected. I hope it works out for you (it probably will).[/quote]

According to a report of a meeting between Smith and ANC 3C this week (which represents Woodley and Cleveland Park and Cathedral Heights) all Smith would say is that she "could see" Hardy continuing to feed to Wilson if all the puzzle pieces fall into place.  Seems like that's a promise (together with your DC tax refund) that you can take to the bank![/quote]

I heard a different first-hand different report on that meeting, with Smith saying that she was not in position to confirm it at that moment, but their projections suggested that Hardy will feed into Wilson.

Anyway, whatever she said, I can live with the idea that Hardy will feed into a new HS which will be build nearby. Both my sons (4th and 5th grade) will have gone through Hardy and will be at Wilson at that time...(this won't happen before 6-8 years!).[/quote]
