[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the writer who chased away the PP because he or she does not have children of middle school age: don't you think that all residents have an interest in ensuring Hardy becomes an excellent middle school? First, every involved citizen has a general interest in seeing that the public-school offerings are rigorous. Second local residents have a more pecuniary interest, because a second rate local middle school can be a drag on property values. If a prospective buyer questions the quality of the local public school offering the buyer may go elsewhere.  Anyone who doubts the strong connection between top-quality public schools and real estate values needlook no further then in AU Park and Tenleytown, where even small brick colonials on tiny lots fetch substantial price premiums because they feed to Janney, Deal and Wilson. Clearly residence of upper Northwest want Hardy to improve but the unwillingness of those more directly connected to the school to entertain suggestions for change or disheartening.[/quote]

What are you even talking about? Is this the uniforms again? The school IS changing, rapidly, in many, many ways. Just because you can't find anyone on DCUM to engage you doesn't mean anything about what's happening in real life. I can't for the life of me figure out why there is so much shit-stirring over Hardy by purportedly IB families who don't want to send their kids to Hardy but insist on trying to poison the well.
