[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does no cafeteria mean no gym? Or does Murch want separate gym and separate cafeteria?[/quote]

They have a gym now and no cafeteria. That's why the kids get hot lunch from a tray in the hallway and eat in their classrooms. The gym is used for PE all day long every day. You have to look a the logistical programming requirements for running an elementary school with 700+ students. Yes, a school that big needs a gym and a cafeteria, otherwise you either cut PE or eat in classrooms.[/quote]

Your privilege shows.[/quote]

Seriously? I wonder which part you consider privileged. Is it a sign of privilege for a kid to get hot lunch from a cart in the hall, walk outside through the rain to their trailer classroom, then to try to eat in the few minutes left before the teacher has to begin a lesson to keep up with the required minutes of instructional time? Or is it a privilege to eat lunch with the mice that live in the classroom because DCPS/DGS says they can't be expected to control the vermin when students eat lunch in their classroom every day, especially not in a crumbling building that hasn't been renovated since it was built in 1929?

Maybe you don't know that Murch parents helped sue the city decades ago and the courts nearly closed Murch down because if it's condition. The parents from Murch and other schools in the lawsuit settled the case because DC agreed to renovate all the schools in the city. DC slapped a new roof on Murch so it could stay open and then worked to renovate the majority of other schools in the city. Now that it is finally Murch's turn for the first time in 86 years, it should be done now and it needs to be done right. That isn't demanding any special privilege. That is just demanding that city officials do their jobs.[/quote]
