[quote=Anonymous]"They decided not to go that way because: 1) the thought the back door was an easier, "hit and run" way; 2) these Hyde parents are not looking at Hardy as their middle school option (i.e. most likely switching to private schools after ES), so harming Hardy was not affecting them."

You are ascribing far, far more intent than is appropriate. Everything was being done as hoc and only because it was clear that DGS was not doing what it should have in evaluating the sites. I understand you feel slighted that it didn't occur to Hyde parents to call you up personally and plead. We wish we had! It just never occurred to us. There was never, ever any moment where we were sitting around and thought "Well the Hardy PTO won't like it, so we better go around them." All we wanted to do was to get everyone around the same table and talk it out. DGS never facilitated that and our improvised efforts obviously failed.

You clearly have a strong contempt for us. I'm sorry you've decided to assume the worst about us. I sure hope the next time you find yourself dealing with a difficult decision from DCPS those that you reach out to don't immediately think the worst of you.[/quote]
