It's not that she was just resistant to replacing Pope. She was vocally resistant to the changes that Rhee wanted to make at the school, including making Hardy more attractive to in-boundaries families.

So people can't dare to disagree? Voicing an opinion respectfully is admirable, especially when it can have repercussions (and even thought you care to take the risk) And then, that's democracy, you loose, or the option you were supporting looses, and you continue give the best of yourself for that school.

The workplace is not the place for voicing your opinions. I was around during those days and I remember thinking that this has to be one of the few jobs in America where you can publicly castigate your employer and keep your job.
So everyone who speaks out against their employer should be fired, regardless of the reasoning behind it?

My personal opinion is no, but bear in mind that DCPS has disciplined even great teachers who dared to buck the bureaucracy on minor things.

In this case, the teacher's anger and militant attitude were so notable that it scared a lot of prospective parents off, who believed that she would be very hostile to a more "diverse" and changed Hardy.
I don't believe it scared a lot of parents off. I believe it scared you off and a few more but a lot? No.

The angry teacher made it very clear at the time that she was not a fan of change at Hardy. She came across like the rudest, most haughty person one has ever encountered at DC DMV.

OK, let's stipulate that this teacher acted poorly five years ago when Pope was fired. Let's also read the first-hand comments from other IB Hardy parents here (including me) that indicate that since then she has been nothing but an excellent teacher to all the students from Hardy. Is this something that IB parents can move on from, or is it an ongoing reason not to send your kid to Hardy?[/quote]

Thank you, PP, for this post. If this (and a weird obsession with uniforms) are all IB parents can cite as Hardy's "problems" they don't deserve to be taken seriously.[/quote]
