[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course, there are kids who smoke pot, drink, and vape at Hardy. Not sure if they're all happening on campus but it's definitely happening my kid has shared. They are dumb middle schoolers. Know your kid, be in their business, and don't freak out. Our third kid at Hardy right now across the last 6 years. There is a whole crew of uber-rich, uber entitled, and barely supervised kids at Hardy right now. It is predominantly in boundary school now full of Georgetown, Palisades, and Foxhall, kids who spend their days roaming Georgetown, Tenleytown, and wherever else trying to look cool and doing dumb stuff. Typical middle school behavior for some kids but not all. I just wish these kids would go back to their privates and let us poors get back to the business of DCPS. I miss the out of boundry kids...these Key kids are insufferable. [/quote]

You prefer good behavior like judging and stereotyping?[/quote]

Fair enough that wasn't nice. Not ALL kids from Key are insufferable, but all the kids who ARE insufferable are from Key.

Have y'all ever checked out your kids' Snapchats, TikToks, and Instagram pages? Cuz I have  :shock:

But, I do prefer the families who don't own 3-4 houses and who realize that flying private jets around isn't normal. I guess that makes me judgey. I'll own it. [/quote]

How many of these families with multiple houses and jets are in DCPS?  And all the bad kids are from one school? You know every kid?  When you make such unbelievable claims, nothing you say is credible. Your Hardy threads are useless. [/quote]

I have no idea how many Uber rich kids go to DCPS but at Hardy there are a handful and most kids know who they are. One family flies a private jet and owns 3-4 houses. Apart from this family there are several others who own houses in the Palisades/Foxhall along with one other summer/beach house.

I never said these kids were “bad” those are your words. I said rich, entitled, and insufferable. They also happen to be a lot of the “popular kids” and some of the same kids vaping, smoking pot, and running slam Instagram Hardy accounts. One account rates and ranks girls against each other another account lets kids “smash” or “pass” on girls. There are several other accounts. Does it make these kids bad? No it doesn’t. It makes them kids. But from where I stand I see a pretty clear connection between wealth, entitlement, lack of supervision, and big houses kids can disappear into while they get away with this stuff.  Do you want an open discussion about Hardy or do you just want to cheerlead and pretend there aren’t class, race, and cultural issues at play? Do you even have kids at Hardy???

I have a pretty good relationship with my kid. They share a lot. I keep my snarkier opinions about class and the impact of excessive wealth out of the discussion. I know who these kids are and I know which schools they went to. Do you ever talk to your kid? Maybe your kid is unaware of or unaffected by this mess but it doesn’t mean it’s not happening.  Do you spend any time at Hardy? Have you had multiple kids go through Hardy over many years and seen how its changed? I have…three kids. Maybe it’s you who is not credible?
