[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's not focus on individual teachers in this thread, OK?  Hardy is much bigger and let's hope better than that to focus on one teacher.

By the way, I was talking with a middle school parent this weekend who sent a child to Basis rather than Hardy.  One concern mentioned was that a family they knew that did send their child to Hardy started swearing around the house.  Swearing wasn't part of the family's vocabulary at all - it was something the child had picked up from other kids at Hardy.  Maybe that's a minor thing to some but it's a sign of the morals and values of some kids at the school and their families.  Parents who swear around their kids and who permit their kids to swear are, frankly, not kids/families I want my kids around.

Yes, kids are going to hear that eventually but ... in middle school??[/quote]

focusing on Hardy as a former Mann parent with children elsewhere - we know of one transfer so far and one family who wishes they could.  They both say the focus is on discipline not education - don't know precisely what that means - but they definitely feel deceived and shortchanged about Hardy the way it was marketed to Mann parents..................[/quote]

As a CURRENT Mann parent actively discussing middle school options, I don't know what you're talking about. I trust what you say, but this is fairly opposite what I've been hearing from current Hardy parents that were (and often still are) at Mann. [/quote]
