[b]DCPS and DPR are the same city government. Who pays for what is accounting[/b]. Hardy is a public school. Maret, a private school for families that have opted out of city schools, is not entitled to jump to the front of the line for public resources. Hardy parents may be in a land grab, but that’s a negotiation with the other city and city sponsored entities that are competing for resources. Maret, per city rules, doesn’t even rank in the discussion. So they called in chits and skipped the line. Bad look, not getting any better no matter how defensive they get.[/quote]

Who pays for what is accounting?? Spoken like a person who has never ventured into real work. If they were the same, why create two agencies instead of one? It's because they serve two different purposes. DPR serves in the best interest of the PUBLIC not entitled Hardy middle school parents. [/quote]

Hardy is a PUBLIC school. Maybe they don’t win in a fair allocation, but we don’t know that because there hasn’t been one. Maret definitely doesn’t. And, yes, who pays for what is accounting. My kids go to a DCPS school where the playground is DPR. It works.[/quote]

Oddly, Maret kept talking yesterday about how the city needs more public park space for all our children, as though DC has the same responsibility to provide capacity for Maret teams as it does public school teams. I just don’t get it. No other independent school seems to have this bizarre expectation.[/quote]
