[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]tbh - I’ve visited middle schools in Bethesda. The Hardy parents are absolutely right to demand that the school have at least some modicum of organization and calm. The idea that parents are just supposed to accept that “all middle schools are violent” is wishful thinking. It’s not going to fly. Before you spput off about white parents, let me assure you that  DCPS takes advantage of working class black families because they don’t have the same organizing resources.

For starters - no one said schools should be violent. Secondly, no one is claiming that everything at Hardy was fine. Hardy definitely had some issues that need to be addressed. But to go as far as to call the school unsafe as a whole is a major stretch. Like MAJOR. It is laughable. I’ve worked in schools that had legitimate safety issues (children getting shot at and robbed on their way home).

BTW, the 8th grade team reigned in some of the wild student behavior and parents had a temper tantrum about it. Everyone wants rules and consequences until it impacts their special snowflake.[/quote]
