[quote=Anonymous]My kid was at Hardy when Pope was there. We did indeed fill out an application and we were IB. Since the program then was an arts intensive, questions on the application asked if you would fully participate in the program, practice, etc. You also had to choose an instrument. No IB family was ever denied enrollment. People just didn't want to fill out the application. His goal was increase academic performance through the arts. Many OOB families were AA. I had no knowledge of their economic status. To say Pope designed the application process to weed out poor blacks is ludicrous. Pope is now at Savoy ES in Anacostia and is transforming the school through the arts. https://www.naesp.org/principal-septemberoctober-2012-common-core/turning-around-schools-art. It was my experience that Pope welcomed IB families, he just didn't cater to them. Where are all the IB families now that Pope is gone and there is no inconvenient one page application to fill out?[/quote]
