[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can DCPS pretend to operate a middle school that doesn’t   even have an athletic field?  (I know, it wasn’t so long ago that DCPS pretended to operate schools without textbooks). The Hardy admin, DCPS bureaucracy and Bowser need to man up, take some decisions, and build Hardy a proper field.[/quote]

Or, they could use the one the city owns, across the street.[/quote]

Another reason why Hardy will always lag.  Not only do they not have nice stuff like Deal, they are too cowed by and subservient to the DCPS central office even to ask for it.  Pathetic.[/quote]

The school doesn't have the land that Deal has. But one-third of the Deal students are in trailers and the class sizes and overcrowding is out of control. What's your point. Children in other middle schools in the city have lots less. Go look at the fields and facilities all around the city. That's the situation - it's a city trying to manage a whole city's worth of schools and facilities. It's not a Hardy vs. Deal like you have Maret vs. GDS vs. Sidwell etc by comparison shopping private school parents paying tuition. This is the exact point. These are PUBLIC schools. No one can go and demand nicer fields to the head of school and/or give $1mil and problem solved. Or apparently in this case, go an do under the table, behind closed doors with city officials -and problem solved!! [/quote]
