[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hardy is not perfect and needs many improvements but it's not a hell hole either.  Kids can be rowdy but there's lots of good teaching going on.  Hardy's not as well established or creative as Deal and it lacks some variety of after-school activities.  But my kid feels safe there, is learning and wants to go to school. I wish Hardy were slightly more like Deal in terms of the class offerings and extra curricular stuff but on the whole we're pretty happy.

someone asked why OOB parents might put up with something not as good as Deal...well the bottom line is there just aren't enough good middle school slots in the city in charters or DCPS...it's hard to find the 'right' spot for your child and you sometimes make compromises that you have to live with.  Hardy may not be for everyone but if it actually got more neighborhood support it could be great.[/quote]

But Hardy could insist that the kids be less rowdy, especially afterschool. It would go a long way toward attracting neighborhood support.[/quote]
