[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don’t be so obtuse. The B&G club is one of the only halfway affordable after school options in the vicinity of Glover Park, Hardy, Stoddert, Hyde, and for some students from Key. There are not many options in the price range. It is half the price of the after care option at out Hardy feeder. Go check it out sometime. The kids seriously - no exaggeration- often are hanging out in the basement and they are not allowed to go use the field at the facility while Maret and others have it. It’s for real. The parents sending their kids to Hardy have the option of trying to find another house and moving to go to Deal if they want to go Deal. There is no application or lottery. It’s not a choice issue. No parent is sitting around deciding between Hardy or Deal or feeling them pitted off against each other. Public school pathways and financial realities for so much of the city seem beyond comprehension? [/quote]

So maybe Jelleff is half the price because the outdoor field time is limited.  Parents get a special deal as a result.  What you’re saying is that Jelleff B&C should both be half the price of any other offering and have field time (when Hardy isn’t using it, I assume).  You’re living in a Bernie time warp.[/quote]

Yes!  You finally (finally!) got it right!  And here I thought you just weren’t capable of basic comprehension much less any empathy. Yes, the B&GCGW (what is B&C?) should get as much field time as any of the other interested stakeholders, all of whom - oops! All but Maret, I mean - want to share the space and they should pay a lower price. Certainly they have a greater moral claim than the affluent families of Maret who pay over $40k per year for up to 13 years for schooling. They can afford to find their own parcel, pay for it and build whatever they want.
