[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Wilson school paper wrote in its most recent issue that only 90 kids from Hardy go on to Wilson each year.

Is that true? If so, this new HS isn't going to help at all.[/quote]

There are four years in a high school. So that would be 360 students, a significant chunk of Wilson's population.[/quote]

And as also pointed out to the FCCA affiliate who posted their “factoid” about Jackson-Reed to various local listservs, the Hardy intake is growing rapidly.

6th and 7th grades are now 200 students each. In just a couple of years, it will be a lot more than 90 kids per year heading to J-R.

The incessant barrage of misinformation designed to keep public school children out of a particular neighborhood is extremely tiresome.

Saw this come across the Glover Park listserv. Can this dude run for city council?
…………
As is customary at this point: this post contains false data and initiates (not spreads) misinformation.

The poster claims “only 90 students attend Jackson Reed from Hardy MS.” The poster then pretends to have pulled this information from a student newspaper.

In actuality, the referenced source says “only 90 students come to Jackson Reed from Hardy EACH YEAR.” The omission is not an accident when viewed in totality with prior public statements.

Moreover, while Hardy MS is currently 532 students, the sixth and seventh grades are close to 200 students each. And this is nearly a 64% increase from four years ago. So, judge the reported current ANNUAL matriculation of 90 students in context and with full understanding of the dynamics here.

I have attached a slide presented by the Hardy MS principal during an Open House held at Hardy on 5 November 2021 that contains these data points.

The lesson here: reject alternative facts; determine trustworthy and untrustworthy sources of information and form beliefs accordingly; be inhospitable to those who attempt to perpetually gaslight.

Demand better. Be better.

It’s a great shame he didn’t. Some of us tried to convince him but he didn’t want to do it for whatever reason. It’s a shame. He would make a great representative for the ward.[/quote]
