[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hardy parent.  What a joke.  There is no GT program at Hardy.  What these DCPS middle schools need are honors classes across the board, not a touch of extra enrichment for anybody who turns up, which is what we have now.  [/quote] Interesting, a Hardy parent that I know pesonally described the STEM program to me and it sounded great![/quote]

Try it yourself, and see if you will be impressed with the SEM program at Hardy.  Teachers nominate students to get into some of the SEM programs, but when "C" average students get nominated to them, I wonder if it is really based on the students' gifts ans talent.  I don't think so.  There is a chance that these students could be gifted and talented, and they don't reflect well on their grades, but I still doubt that they are gifted and talented.  The truth is, anyone can get nominated.  When there is an empty seat, it will be filled by someone else.  Just because one student gets nominated to SEM does not certify that s/he is gifted and talented.

We have been with Hardy for several years, and we really consider leaving it last year but we decided to give it another year and to try SEM.  We remain unimpressed with their SEM program.  I don't express my feelings for Hardy to anyone or on DCUM because I don't want to be hammered by their boosters, which is always the case.  So I say find out for yourself.  Everyone is different and one may like it better than the others.  The Hardy boosters are more outspoken and have expressed that there is no fights at Hardy, and so forth, but I know the truth for myself.  So I encourage you to find out yourself.  You don't need to listen to other parents - just enroll your child and see what happens.  See if there is really no fights at all at Hardy.  See if you will be impressed with their SEM program.  See if there are many hard working teachers. I have never said a negative thing about Hardy to anyone, because someone will just call me a sour grape anyways.  But I know the truth myself and that's good enough.  [/quote]
