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

What? You think the UMC families that predominate Hardy are going to go somewhere else? To protest...an active PTA? Demands for competent principals? [b]The only [b]people who are upset by this are race baiters who don't send their kids to Hardy and like to agitate to stir up crap.[/b][/b] [/quote]

Not true. Send my kids to Hardy. Am upset by how this unfolded. Am not a race baiter. Not everyone is camp Hardy was a hellscape with “kids roaming the halls” and therefore the principal had to leave immediately with a month left of school.

This is part of what is upsetting. Many of you fail to even consider any alternate point of view and that’s how you proceeded. There is ton of dismissive, self righteous, condescending and flat out aggressive comments on this thread from the parents who support this. No other view points matter but yours. Even teachers who have reasonably brought up good points are attacked here and called names. Mob mentality.

It doesn’t matter now anyhow as it’s done. Let’s see how the next month of school goes. I suspect it will get worse before it gets better. [/quote]

[b]If the threshold for change is a "hellscape with kids roaming the hallways" [/b]then the disconnect here is my expectations for a well functioning school vs yours.[/quote]

Are you intentionally misunderstanding my point? I clearly meant that Hardy is nowhere near a hellscape and that having “kids in the halls” is not a a sign of a school on the brink of collapse. Have you spent much time in the halls of Hardy?

Some posters continue to exaggerate what is happening at Hardy and I was saying that not everyone believes this version of Hardy. [/quote]

PP understood you.  He/she was saying she's dissatisfied now with current level if misbehavior.  To him/her, it needs serious action now.  You, on the other hand, think things need to be much worse before serious action would be warranted.[/quote]

Yes, this. By setting hellscape as the floor under which we need to pass before drastic action is taken PPP they create a BS construct to which I do not subscribe. They knew that, though. They are doing that DCUM thing where they set out a false choice or extreme starting position and then pretend like the other person is unreasonable for rejecting wholesale the entire construct.
