I'm not sure what's up with parents, who are not employed at the school, are not evaluated by the school, and are not paid by DCPS, thinking that they control HR and our school. That seems...hard to believe


Since you seem to be unclear on the concept, I’ll explain. Parents are key stakeholders in schools, and they have a lot of influence.


You all got your privates fondled bc furby wants MacArthur to have a strong start, but I'm untouchable to you clowns. You can change leaders as much as you want but I'm still there letting your kids know how you Karen your way through their education

Teacher troll here - I don’t think the PTO realized how much this has upset my staff as a whole. This whole thing happened behind our backs and moved at the speed of light. We are shocked and angry. So yea, pardon us if we lash out in an online forum that continues to perpetuate lies.

If anyone from the PTO is here - might as well cancel that happy hour next week. We want nothing to do with y’all.

And that the principal who made it his mission to recruit kids from Hardy feeder schools -- an effort in which he attained unprecedented success -- was stricken with buyers' remorse once all those neighborhood families were on board and committed to his school. And that he keeps these feelings a secret from any parent who asks. Sure Jan.

LOL thanks education expert. How long could you hang in a room of 33 twelve year olds? You wouldn’t last an hour.


With capable administrators, you would rarely have 33 students in a class.

If you’re fearful of parents, reflect upon why that is. If you’re doing a good job — and many teachers are — you should have nothing to fear.

And to the teacher who claimed Cooke left because of parents, you should ask him. I guarantee you he will not say that’s the case.


None of those people.

But if you're the parent who lives vicariously through your child, well, we already know you are


dude teacher, I think you better go to bed before you dig your hole any deeper. you are not actually helping convince people that Hardy is run by competent educators.


“Dig a hole”…..what are the parents going to do - start a petition to get me fired next?

Dude- the teachers of Hardy have nothing to prove to parents on this forum. If your children have actually gone to Hardy and learned from my colleagues (past and present) they already know the spectacular work the teachers have done for your children. Do you know how many Hardy kids are at Banneker, Walls, JR, or other private schools and are absolutely thriving? I’ve lost count.

Teachers are not going to kowtow to parents. Nope.


Dang dude. I think that cranky parent was responding to me and damn if you didn't say it better than me. The fact that they think we answer to them is absolutely hilarious


Well clearly you do answer to them, because they got the principal fired.


Please come for us. The WTU sucks and we'd still outlast all of your complaints.

Remember when you all cried when we took a sick day.

Go drink your sutter home and celebrate removing a black man from a job.


Hardy teachers are organizing. Apparently they will out next week. I will keep my kid home and support the teachers. I live amongst these complaining parents and yes— they are racist.


Thank you! We appreciate you and understand that you are the majority. Even if we thought our leadership wasn't great, it's an absolutely gross precedent set what happened here


Curious where you were when the black JOW principal got chased out?


Also, While we're asking absurd rhetorical, curious where you were on 9/11

Since school principals and teachers are being fired for safety concerns, what are we doing about the principals in Ward 7 and 8? The principal in the school where a student was killed? All students matter— right?

If you can’t see what took place at Hardy is all about race and politics, you are blind. I am in solidarity with Hardy teachers walking out.

This is true at any school in the entire world.


Our DCPS ES had no dismal teachers.
