[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And guess what, Latin has a uniform: http://latinpcs.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Dress-Code-v2.pdf

You just want to find something wrong. It's an irrational obsession, one that's backed by science by the way: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases (check almost any under "Biases in probability and belief", e.g. try "clustering illusion" as a starter)[/quote]

Immediate PP, yes I was saying Latin has uniforms and all these anti-Hardy posters try for Latin.[/quote]

In urban public schools, uniforms say "ghetto."  (They also say passé educational fad from the 80s.)  Youre not gonna wow them in Palisades and Sprng Valley with school uniforms.  But for some reason Hardy clings to them, perhaps because the school community is much more resistant to change wbike they pretend otherwise.  [/quote]

... while they pretend otherwise.[/quote]

Hardy parents aren't resistant to change.   We've supported many, many changes over the last three years to make the academic environment better and improve student performance.

To my knowledge, we have not been asked about the uniforms, so I don't know if current parents are for or against change there.  I can tell you one thing for darn certain:  we are offended by you insisting that you think our kids are "ghetto" because they wear uniforms.  We know what you are saying PP, and it is disgusting.[/quote]

"Inner city" if you prefer.  Public school uniforms were all the rage 20-30 years ago to try to bring order to ,and instill discipline in, tough-to-control urban schools.  Why in the world would present day Hardy continue to embrace that association ?![/quote]
