[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frustration about Johnson’s dismissal, and previous encounters with the group of parents, has compelled teachers to jump ship, the teacher told the Informer.  As recently as last week, a well-regarded teacher left Hardy, which the teacher said has further weakened the sense of community at the school.

“It’s a sustained attack on teachers,” the Hardy instructor said. “Parents have collaborated with the community to get positions [cut out]. I’ve seen it about four or five times. Some teachers are scared or angry. It’s not all parents. It’s a group of extremely powerful parents who are bullies.”

When will the parents believe us?[/quote]

lol looks like the drunk teacher posting here landed an interview with The Informer.

Where was The Informer when the principal of JOW was getting unfairly railroaded? Couldn’t make spurious claims of racism, so not a peep. [/quote]

Also love how they characterize the almost 500 petition signers as a “small group of parents.” And of course using “they live in Georgetown” as an insult. Yes, they live in the school zone …

Also the whole part about how it’s unfair because DCPS ignores W7 parent complaints about violence makes no sense. So the answer to that is W2 parents must tolerate violence? Hardy has to stay violent to show the yt parents that they have too much privilege? (Nevermind the 60% kids of color?) [/quote]

It's great how defensive you get. First, they referred to a small contingent of parents actions in the past.

Then, the teacher made objective demograpic statements about the group leading the charge. I imagine it was in reference to the fact that the complainants were primarily IB vs. OOB, but you sure went right to the worst.[/quote]
