Ditto the other inner circle families, except for the getting paid part? But maybe getting repaid part?

Maybe Bisgaards got paid, but as for the inner circle families, they seem to have not been paid, but need to be repaid for lending money or investing, etc.

They don’t get repaid until the actual creditors get repaid. If they do, somebody should prosecute. I don’t think they care all that much. It’s a small price to pay judging by the Operation Varsity Blues price list. It wasn’t fake athletes doing faked sports but it was faked graduation from a fake school. It seems to me there are many families and teachers who got misled and can prove damages and could have the grounds to sue the parents on this committee

I CANNOT BELIEVE THESE PEOPLE ARE COMING TO MARET (yes, I am yelling as I am in shock)

If the Maret parents object to him coming as HoS next fall, is it possible for the parents to take collective action? After all, it is the parents who pay tuition for their kids. Not a Maret family, but just by judging from the thread, it seems like there is significant objection. This is not a good start.

It’s hard to take a collective action if you’re worried that if you fail, those parents get in trouble w the HoS (maybe their children don’t get the same number of prizes and news articles and As as the children of the Whittle parents committee, cause that’s the type of school this HoS run). But they can do an anonymous survey and even a petition to the Board.

We were lucky to get out before any significant damage could be done. I did find it bizarre that the seniors graduated three weeks before the end of the school year. I do think the teachers and students who were planning to come back for the next school year suffered the most damages. I knew that the graduating seniors would have no school to have a high school reunion.

I guess that’s why they have no comment?

What a fount of inspirational quotes that twitter feed is, and whittleicisms. Here’s an inspirational quote:

“[those] Who Post BS Inspirational Quotes Really Are Dumb, Says Study
Canadian researchers say that there is a link between low intelligence and being impressed by seemingly profound quotes.”

It's because no one cares other than the handful of Maret haters on this thread who keep bumping this thread because they're hurt that Larlo didn't get accepted to Maret and have a bone to pick.

How much money from loans earmarked for the school, did Chris Whittle ( and anyone on the leadership team) take for themselves in total, from the beginning of the venture until now? Was the Pure East loan for $25.4 million which he ( and a current Whittle Board member-GSV Ventures) took approx $5 Million each from, positioned as money for Whittle School and Studios, as money for clearing Avenues debt or what? What reason would there be for this loan? It simply says " commercial purposes" on the document. It is important because funds for the school used as funds to pay off old debts would come under scrutiny for a number of significant violations.

Someone should make a timeline of each of the lawsuits and notices of pending actions against each of the comments made by senior leaders of the school--to demonstrate the glaring difference between the reality of the venture's full collapse against the rhetoric used to incite re-enrollment, to extract bridge loans from individuals-----

 and..MOST sadly to encourage students who didn't know the full picture, to be on-record public tour guides to provide a glowing portrait of the school to reporters from the Washington Post and the Washington Business Journal. That was low.

On the contrary, we are a Maret family with younger kids at the school and are quite concerned about the selection of the founding Head of Whittle as our new head. I find it natural that we would be interested in this thread.

parents: if you were Venmo'ing the teachers and the starving boarders in March, some seriously material information was likely withheld from you.

The information that Whittle allegedly repeatedly implied Bisgaard, O’Neil, Baldessari and Einsl were privy to and allegedly withheld from other parents due to the self-interest to see their children graduate, per the WBJ reporting? Also how is it fair that the Whittle SS allegedly promising to pay these folks first when there’s a list of unpaid creditors, teachers and vendors?

If you go to maret and have a problem with the selection, bring it up to the school. This is all speculation and posters here are damaging a family and a person's reputation. The man has kids and a family and this wont stop. I dont even have a child at maret but im feeling this guy has had enough malicious posts against him. If you have an issue bring it up to the achool and stop flaming a fire. If this wasn't an anonymous forum none of you would do this. Theres so much bullying on this platform its terrifying and atrocious. Grow up. Your kids read this forum

+2000000 if you are that concerned contact him with your concerns and maret this forum isn’t the best place to if you are soooo concerned
