[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or exacerbated by the poor planning of DCPS and Hardy leadership. Was this sudden growth out of nowhere? Did Hardy leadership try to expand sports offerings without proper spaces? Did they plan with DCPS to grow the school and athletic offerings with spaces they had available? It seems to be a mismanagement from Hardy leadership on what they could offer, understanding what their population would be, and how to balance that with facilities. That’s not Maret’s fault. That’s Hardy and DCPS’s fault. There are plenty of DCPS schools that have amazing facilities. Jaw dropping indoor pools, turf fields, tennis courts. And they planned for that growth. Why did one of the wealthiest DC neighborhood public schools completely fail in planning for that growth? Who’s to blame? It’s not private school families or schools that are to blame for that negligence. It seems your anger is misplaced. [/quote]

You have no idea how public schools function in this city and are not making any sense anyway. DCPS has plenty of issues and all of us with kids in the system have plenty of frustrations. But they have nothing to do with this issue, which is purely a consequence of DPR, Maret and - probably - Jack Evans.[/quote]

Again, this seems to be a Hardy and DCPS mismanagement issue to look at. Did they not see this growth coming? Are there alternative spaces for Hardy to move to? Is a tiny triangle really the best place for a fast growing, high income middle school in the wealthiest part of DC? [/quote]

Again, the Maret boosters are unable to defend the deal on its own merits, so they resort to throwing mud around to try and confuse the issue. [/quote]
