[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This controversy will set Hardy back a decade.  Sad. [/quote]

[b]PJ set Hardy back a decade.[/b] This "controversy" will reverse the backslide.[/quote]

You guys are ridiculous. In one year PJ set the school back a decade? This is the kind of ludicrous unsubstantiated hysteria that got 400 parents whipped into a frenzy to sign a letter slim on facts. It’s also the kind of statement that makes you sound racist as hell given how over the top it is.

In the more than 5 years I’ve known Hardy, it has never been some kind of perfect gem! All the things happening at Hardy now happened under Cooke and Pride and the others before them. Then we had Covid, and budget cuts, and mental health crisis affecting kids, families, and teachers. Nothing is the same from before.

Cooke was better at PR. He answered his damn emails—but man he paid a lot of lip service to a bunch of things that NEVER changed under him. Nice guy but some really crappy teachers served under his watch. We had no clubs for years with Cooke and the sports were nonexistent? Where any you actually here under Cooke’s first few years? And then there’s that other difference between Cooke and PJ…wait what was it again??? Hmmm. Never mind.

It’s funny because you loved him so and yet you have at least a few of his coworkers here telling you all repeatedly that YOU ALL contributed to his departure with your nonsense but you’re just covering your ears. “ Lalalala” I can’t hear you! It could never have been ME!! I’m not the problem.

There you go again with the crazed accusations of racism. I stopped reading at that point as I suspect did everybody else who has any interest in reasoned discourse. Any administrator or teacher worth their salt values parents who are invested in their children’s education and the schools that provide it. Those who abhor parental involvement and accountability for performance generally have the most to lose from it.[/quote]

Of course you will cover your ears. You don’t want to hear the truth. The truth is glaring. ERROL JOHNSON WAS TREATED MUCH DIFFERENTLY THAN COOKE BECAUSE HE IS BLACK. There it is. Let it hurt your ears and move your heart.  [/quote]
