[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed GDS F-ed up [b]big time[/b] not submitting the over-enrollment information. 
I am a GDS parent and have problems with multiple issues at GDS similar to this regarding disorganization.

However...that video was OVER THE TOP CRAZY.
The ANC guy is a lunatic.  Nothing productive got done and he seems like he has some crazy personal vendetta against the school that has nothing to do with the best interests of the community.
.
I have  truly never seen anything like it. It was like an SNL sketch with Chris Farley.

I was actually proud of the GDS folks for keeping their cool and trying to be courteous and business like.[/quote]

LOL it was totally like an SNL skit—complete with one of the neighbors singing a song instead of providing a comment. The yelling ANC chair, the neighbor who kept asking “can you hear me…”, did I mention the yelling ANC chair?[/quote]

LOL, right! Totally SNL skit - with the GDS parents rolling their eyes when being told they are not following the rules - the nerve!  Or how about when the Head Master collected millions of dollars over the years after breaking a contract and then wanting another year?  Down right hilarious!!! [/quote]

Resident here. These anc folks make us Tenleytown residents look dreadful and they can't seem to decide what they're even angry about. I'm live adjacent to another independent school and I can't imagine having a bee in my bonnet about traffic or cars briefly stopped during small and predictable parts of the morning or afternoon. I'm frankly delighted by having kids, families, athletic fields, and playgrounds around. If I need to wait a few extra minutes to get through an intersection so that children are safely dropped or picked up, I think I'll survive :)  I also welcome the idea of local schools hosting athletic and community events. If parking is soaked up in front of my house, so be it. That's what makes a neighborhood a family friendly neighborhood. 
Would it be better to have another bank, vape store, costco? Would that make the neighborhood safer, more attractive, less congested, and more pleasant? Heck no.
Anyone who has watched the video has seen how sadly incoherent and angry the anc (and their representatives) are over mind-numbingly stupid stuff in the overall scheme of things that are important in this life. The rage seems to waft into ramblings about elitism, Teslas, and money. I'd love for someone to analyze that component. As an aside, I can't help but wonder what their toxic tactics would be if MacArthur HS was moving into this neighborhood instead of the Palisades. [/quote]
