So far, DCPS's next big promise is the renovation of Roosevelt to include an International Focus and not an IB program, but... a Culinary Focus.  Perhaps that's what passes for synergy at 1200 1st?

Meanwhile, Washington Global will offer Spanish and Chinese plus the International Middle Years curriculum.  That should appeal to the CM families!    [/quote]

Yup, its very clear that someone is on this thread soley to boost charters. I am not sure how a HS curriculum (and no I am not familiar with that decision) is relevant to the current discussion.

If you are so sure that DCPS middle schools, Hardy and the new ones, will fail, it shouldn't be necessary to spend so much time discouraging people from considering Hardy.   Clearly some people at charters consider those renovations and the promises of improvement, and the reality of the changes at Hardy, to be a threat.  [/quote]

A PP wrote that someone was posting with an agenda of boosting private school admissions, allegedly afraid of competition from Hardy.  Never mind that private schools in or near Hardy's IB area are well oversubscribed by applicants chasing relatively few seats, and they all have wait lists.  Now someone alleges that questions about Hardy are raised by charter schools afraid of competition from Hardy.  Never mind that the better charter schools -- Latin, etc. -- are oversubscribed in the lottery and are much sought after.

Instead of inventing false conspiracy theories that the St. Albans or Sidwells or Latins are afraid of Hardy, why not focus on those issues that IB parents need to seal the deal and send their kids to Hardy.  What does Deal offer that Hardy doesn't?  Then provide it.  Aim to make Hardy the most rigorous public middle school in DC.  [/quote]
