Maret and former Whittle students?

He did tweet in effect for everyone to better be quiet when he rarely tweets, just as the Whittle collapse.

Massively creepy and icky in my opinion


The only troll is you. 6750 view 210 posts of which 200 are from you.


Ok creep. People have told you it’s not true, but it’s not like you believe your own lies anyway.

Wow you are really nasty. I can see why you are not getting any traction here. You are your own little Fox News outlet.

For the millionth time, there isn’t just one concerned parent posting here. What is your motivation?

Anyway, enjoy him, I suspect you’re related


Sad you spend your time Q-Anon’ing the tweet history of an incoming HoS for a school you’re not even associated with.

The stuff that has come out since the decision was made (well before Whittle collapsed) is enough to reconsider.


Because aside from the 2% of parents who read DCUM, no one cares nor are they concerned. Parents at Maret tend to be reasonable and level headed and so likely wouldn’t take to conspiracy theories tossed around by anonymous internet trolls.


Patently false!! And wouldn't it be a joy for this to actually be "conspiracy theories". That nonsensical allegation does a great disservice to the students, families, and faculty left in Whittle's wake. There is nothing theoretical about it; there is a series of FACTS which anyone who is "reasonable" can use to conclude leadership should be unwelcomed at a school of Maret's stature. What an awful decision Maret has made and I am certain there are more than "2%" of parents who agree!

The glorious part of independent schools is that you have no need to go there if you think aliens are feeding admission fast passes to Bisgaard and unqualified kids. It’s all good.

As a Maret parent, I thank you for the your rigorous research but we’ll take it from here.

You don’t sound like a Maret parent. On the one hand, you’re exceptionally rude and patronizing while being absurdly invested in the fate of the HoS you are allegedly not in any relation to, 🤔

On the other hand there are many polite and socially adjusted parents intelligently expressing their concerns on this very board.

Forgive me for doubting who you are and your motivations but you haven’t shared a single convincing fact and others have. I think this is far from over.

I love the notion that Maret parents can’t possibly be rude and patronizing.

This clearly outs you as not being a Maret parent, btw

Agreed - if the anonymous posters who have the facts and know their stuff aren't going to come forward in real life and fight the battle against the new HoS, we need journalists or someone else willing to stick their neck out. I just don't think this thread will do the trick. Where do we go from here?

Who are you talking to? I’m the PP who wrote the OTOH comment and I’m very concerned by this HoS choice. Just to clarify, I think all the facts are on the side of the concerned parents, all the insults seem to be on the “there’s nothing to see here, move along” side (that’s politely paraphrasing a pretty obnoxious attempts to shut up all the naysayers).

Have you done anything about your concerns (other than posting here)? Curious what the response has been from the school on all of these concerns and complaints.

Why do you think Board action is the only desired outcome? Hopefully Board reconsiders but it’s not the primary thing at all

Shining the light on this issue is important. Much like any dodgy dealings

It’s also not just a Maret matter, there were families and families left in their wake to pick up the pieces without a kind word or gesture from the HoS and wife who benefited tremendously. Also it’s good to not normalize this kind of integrity-questionable choice in DC schools. Next thing you know any crook and failed HoS can get the job

Dcum is not nothing. Just ask the Brookings. I think they also broke the Dep Mayor sexual harassment investigation here. Did they make the Mayor act? No, but it was still very helpful.

Scrutiny is this case is necessary and hopefully never goes away.
