[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here, let me help with finding a quote from a teacher (see below). Oh, wait, it just says that an award-winning math teacher said that the staff will leave if Mr. Pope leaves.  Not a single word against IB children.  But go on, person who obsesses about that meeting, give us the cite.  You seem so certain that it occurred and you keep repeating it.  You must have evidence somewhere.

[quote]Hardy Middle parents, staff decry replacement of principal
By Bill Turque
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, December 6, 2009

Sarah Bax, an award-winning math teacher at Hardy Middle School in Georgetown, goes back many years with Chancellor Michelle A. Rhee, once her trainer in the Teach for America program.

But Bax had a warning for her old mentor Friday night, after Rhee announced her decision to replace Patrick Pope, the popular longtime principal.

"This is a grave, grave error," Bax said. "This staff will not be here when Mr. Pope is not here."

Bax was part of a standing-room-only crowd of parents, teachers and students infuriated by Rhee's decision to change leadership at the school, home to a highly regarded arts and instrumental music program that draws a predominantly African American student body from all wards of the city.

Having followed the Hardy saga closely while it was unfolding, I would say that whatever Bill Turque wrote is usually the opposite of the truth.[/quote]I can't speak to that but I was there and I heard Sarah Bax say what she said.  At any rate, I'm still waiting for a cite to show that the Hardy teachers said anything against IB children.  Please, let's see some proof.[/quote]

Sarah Bax treated my IB child like royalty, and treated other IB children and their families the same way.   Also, she treated OB children like royalty.   She is one of the best teacher sin DCPS, and deserves a statue, not your disgusting and vile slander.[/quote]Yes, she is an amazing teacher. She challenged my kid to work very hard and she did it with a helpful, supportive spirit.[/quote]
