Pride is all talk and very little action. She was not good for Jefferson and Stoddert didn't want her. Were there no other better qualified candidates??!!

Principal Pride is a good addition. Stefanus was fine, but seemed to lose energy towards the end of last year. Pride has tons of energy and good ideas. She seems like the right person to keep Hardy moving forward.



Check around-she left a bad taste in the mouths of many parents and faculty at Stoddert. Which BTW was her 3rd interim position.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't G&T and/or "tracking" somewhat out-of-favor in education circles now? In other words, is this really DC-specific or more of a general trend that's showing up in pockets nationwide?
