I stand corrected.. It was the Chair who asked him to define a "good" partner first ~7:58:30.. but the answer "They did what they said they were going to do" is fairly accurate.
You don't *have* to admit that you may be wrong, but I know your heart, and you're forgiven.
Can we drop this ridiculous charade of righteous outrage now?
Trump's still in office, and our DC votes may not matter, but maybe we should focus on fixing that somehow?[/quote]

The outrage is real and easily explained by the fact that the quality of thousands of lower- and middle-class parents’ kids’ education is being undercut by the selfish behavior a school that predominantly educates the kids of very rich people and which contributes very little to the city treasury. That outrage is further magnified because it’s not an isolated case. A similar thing is happening with the Old Hardy school building and LAB and with Guy Mason and G.U.. People affected by these cases see that there is an underlying problem and find common cause to fix it.[/quote]

Um.. Please clarify: Are we talking about Maret or Hardy educating the rich and giving little to the treasury?
Maret parents who are DC residents give far more to the DC treasury because they are paying for DCPS and not using it.
Unlike those greedy Hardy parents who insist on using DCPS funds when they could easily pay for a private school. [/quote]

Wow, now I feel like using eminent domain to take Maret's campus and turn it into a Wegman's and some low income housing.[/quote]
