[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh Maret is so bad unlike the Hardy parents land grab.  :roll: The demographics of the IB schools to Hardy are some of the wealthiest in the city. So Georgetown’s and Palisade’s middle school gets a DPR recenter and field. The rest of DCPS middle schools get nothing. Even better DPR can pay for Hardy’s new facility. Maybe DPR can lay-off some more employees or cut programs East of the Park so Hardy can have a sport facility almost as big as Wilson has? DCPS will not spend one dime to maintain that facility.[/quote]Apparently, Maret parents have a problem with reading comprehension.

Try to follow, if you can. The people opposed to Maret’s back room deal want DC to transparently and openly decide how to give access to Jelleff, based on the best interests of the residents of DC. Nobody, other than Maret, is asking to monopolize the playing field.[/quote]

There is one or two posters on here who somehow think they are going to paint this as a Hardy vs. Maret issue and think that somehow that's going to be a winning argument. Bizarro. Sure, there is a growing number of middle class families who attend Hardy. But the school continues to proudly serve students from all DC Wards, with 30% of its students economically disadvantaged. Many of those students who are poor and live a couple bus rides away from school are the exact ones who are relegated to the basement of Jelleff each day. Hardy is one of the most, if not the most, diverse schools in the city. Having uber rich Maret boosters come on here and call Hardy families rich is ....uh....rich. Thanks for the laugh. [/quote]
