I guess the school needs to fully embrace changes that could benefit the entire school, like sem, but drag their feet on others (like, potentially uniforms for example). That seems like too simplistic an answer.

Why drag their feet on uniforms. It screams 1990s inner city school, when I assume that Hardy wants to project a more inclusive and modern image.

The uniform thing cracks me up. In the '70s & '80s, anyone in a uniform was a private school kid. So then the public schools started phasing them in, and simultaneously the private schools started phasing them out.

Uniform, no uniform, doesn't matter -- as long as we can tell which kids are which it's all good! (That last sentence was sarcasm, in case it's not evident.)

The point is that some public schools started phasing them it, where they believed it would help bring order to chaotic school situations (along with tough disciplinary measures). Hardy uniforms are a vestige of that era, and perhaps of those problems. One would think that the school would want to move on, unless in fact the uniforms are still deemed necessary to instill discipline.

I was taking the assumption that the current school student body prefers the dress code.

So what? A lot of Southern schools had a nostalgic spot for the Confederate flag, but schools realized that they had to drop it if they were to be more inclusive to all.

So are you saying that a uniform is exclusive? I am not understanding what is analogous here?

FWIW, we are IB for Deal and I would love a uniform. Makes life so simple.

Then you should offer to switch your spot with someone zoned for Hardy. Betcha' they'd take that "Deal" in a New York minute!

Now I'm confused. As an (IB) Hardy parent, are the uniforms indicative of the fact that my kid is a ghetto criminal, or are they indicative of him being an out-of-date confederate-lover?

[Obviously, I'm kidding here. But can anyone seriously read some of these comments and wonder why the current Hardy parents - either IB or OOB - get aggravated by the comments from non-Hardy parents?]

Are you even a parent at Hardy PP? Oh right, you're not. When you do get to Hardy, we'll discuss your ideas for Hardy and its image.

So not much change this year?

Do you really think this Troll knows anything? If their kid is in 7th or 8th, then they could comment on the composition of their class and whether it changed. But of course, most changes were expected in the entering 6th grade cohort. So, the kid should be able to add very little. If the kid is in 6th grade, he knows few of his classmates to begin with, so, again, very limited ability to say anything. Just a troll. Nothing but a troll.

I asked my 8th grader if he noticed any changes. Here is his report: "Definitely. There are a lot more white girls in my class, like 10. And there were definitely a lot more white kids in 6th grade. All the sixth graders looked like this:" And then he made a face like a deer in the headlights.


Peace out.

My white 6th grader is OOB. Oh snap!

What is Hardy's unique culture?

Huh? Are W3 kidd supposed to make mistakes on the CAS or something l so that Hardy's scores don't improve and muss with the culture?
