[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is, for most IB parents, Hardy is "Hardly" a middle school option.[/quote]

I am IB for Hardy, and totally agree.  Hardy has been going to great lengths at our ES to recruit more IB families, but for those I know who have toured the school (myself included) it just wasn't the place anyone wanted to drop their kid off to be "educated."[/quote]
Same at our ES. [b]Care to elaborat[/b]e, PP?[/quote]

They never do.   The vast majority of folks who airdrop in with a blast at Hardy like this one rarely elaborate - perhaps because really what they mean is "I saw this 5 years ago," or "A friend of a friend of a friend of a friend heard it and told me."[/quote]

Maybe the reason people don't "care to elaborate" is because of hostile Hardy parents like you :shock:  No matter what I have to say as an IB parent, you are going to accuse me of lying, accuse me of having never set foot in the school, accuse me of hearing the information from "a friend of a friend of a friend," accuse me of bringing up stories from past years etc etc.  You yourself come off as incredible aggressive, resentful, and defensive.  [/quote]

I am defensive at this point, yes.  But I'm eager to assess the validity and legitimacy of complaints about Hardy.   Some are valid and legitimate.   But others are not.   For example, complaints that date back to the 2010 period, which was four Principals ago, have little legitimacy.  Complaints that boil down to "Somebody told me something bad about Hardy" also do not have legitimacy.  Complaints that are "I want to Hardy on or about this [recent] date, and saw X, Y, and Z that concern me" may well have legitimacy.   "It just wasn't the place anyone wanted to drop their kid off to be 'educated'" means little without some context as to why.  [/quote]
