[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its true that the Town residents by and large don't sent their kids there, they primarily go to private schools.

CCES is basically a dog park for the wealthy to run their dogs nights and weekends.  What's the education of your neighbor's children as opposed to having a large "open space" to run your designer dog?[/quote]

You could not be more wrong. The large majority of parents here have their kids in MCPS.[/quote]

Then why are they letting the Town government tell MCPS what the school can and can't do with the school's field?[/quote]

Did you not read upthread?  Because the Town paid part of the money to redo the field a number of years ago and because the Town turned to an old legal agreement made at the time of that contribution and basically threatened in a veiled not explicit way, that if MCPS didn't cooperate, the Town would raise objections that might have some legal foundation.  That was enough, it seems, to make MCPS come back with a compromise offer to place only 1 portable.  (Especially since they were exactly the same kind of legal objections that have tied up MCPS in court regarding the new middle school placement).

It seems, in light of a regular, every 5 years, technical modernization of the school that neither the Town nor the CCES parents knew about, that the school might have enough computers next year to do without the computer lab.

My question actually was, why do the parents who live in the Town of Chevy Chase and have children at Chevy Chase ES let the Town government tell MCPS what to do? Why not show up at the next Town meeting and yell? The Town government is supposed to be representing its residents.[/quote]
