[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all of you uniforms-at-Hardy haters, have you noticed that Potomac School just across the river has uniforms for its middle schoolers? Their uniforms are nearly identical to Hardy's too! It's just not a big deal -- give it up.[/quote] Why does Hardy want to suggest to the world (or at least to Ward 3) that it is an 80s era, troubled, ungovernable inner-city urban public school? Because that's what public school uniforms say. Get your head out of the sand. I'm starting to think that some folks cling to the uniforms they way they oppose bike lanes (symbolic of gentrification in their view) -- to hold on to some vestige of the vanishing Chocolate City they still pine for. [/quote]Uh, why do you keep [i]clinging[/i] to your obsession with uniforms and the assumption that this is the focused campaign of some kind of anti-gentrification movement among AA parents? Let it go already. [/quote]
