You're going to be lambasted again, and deservingly so.  The self-serving "take care of my snowflake and screw the city in the process" of your POV is breath-taking.

Apparently this is tough for people like you to understand, but when the majority of DCPS's students are below grade level, then shutting off an escape valve (such as Hardy) is educational malpractice.  If your snowflake is too good to share a school with the refugees, then:

A) move
B) go private
C) apply to the charters which are already better than Hardy anyway

but in any case:

for the love of your child SHUT UP and don't ever talk in public like you do on DCUM.  You racist, douchebag prick.  [/quote]

Translation: if you live IB, it's not your school. If you don't like it, go somewhere else. If you object, be prepared to be called a racist.  And people wonder [b]why the IB families aren't flocking there[/b].[/quote]

Yup.[/quote]

Oh really - a couple of anonymous foul-mouthed supposed OOB Hardy parents has this effect?  This is just as plausible as the uniform theory.[/quote]

The world is bigger than DCUM. I've heard this sentiment expressed elsewhere. In fact, I was at the notorious 2010 Hardy PTA meeting when Michelle Rhee announced Pope was being reassigned, this sentiment was loudly voiced, by parents, including PTA leaders, but also by teachers. The parents have moved on, the teachers are still there.

As for the "uniform theory," have you considered that maybe parents make a thoughtful decision after looking at a bunch of factors? The attitude of the Hardy community -- including teachers -- toward in-boundary families is a factor. The lack of support from DCPS and elected officials is a factor. The mediocre academics is a factor. The lackluster extracurriculars is a factor. Uniforms? They're just a kicker.[/quote]

PP, it's now 2014. Do you have a child at Hardy? If not, what year was your child last at Hardy? [/quote]

...because if you don't have a kid at Hardy, STFU. I get that. I've heard it many times. It's part of what makes Hardy so charming.[/quote]
