[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The article was disappointing. No mention of the role of DC government, it's almost as if the field just fell there and it was left to Hardy parents and Maret parents to figure out what to do with it.

Also total false equivalence between the wealth of the two schools. They want us to believe that 25% scholarship is the same as 40% economically disadvantaged? Right. [/quote]

Ian Cameron (husband of Susan Rice and Maret board President) lists his career as journalist. Ben Bradlee’s grandkids went to Maret, and the son of journalist Martha Raddatz worked in their comms department for years (Martha was married to Ben Bradlee Jr.)  so yeah, I think the Washington Post articles have been purposefully missing the point.  Because no one who has a brain would equate the populations of the 9 public schools plus boys and girls club who asked for access to the public recreation center of Jelleff to that of Maret’s 40k/year student body.

Not one mention of bowser or DPR or Evans.  What a crap article.[/quote]

The article really misses the point-no mention that Maret is getting a facility that DC bought for $15 mn a decade ago for just $95k.  And not to mention  Jack Evans and all the lobbying he did as a Maret parent is inexcusable.[/quote]

You most have gone to Hardy for math   :lol: , as you have no concept that the District’s purchase price for the asset has nothing to do with the fair use fee charge to Maret for 2 hours per day for 5 days during the week for 4 months per year.[/quote]

You must have gone to Maret for math and not understand the concept that the most desirable hours carry a higher price.  Do you expect Dc public school kids to play their games at noon on a weekday? At midnight? If Maret were so sure that the 95k/year that they’re paying to a city that is “flush with cash” is appropriate they wouldn’t have been so averse to a public consultation process.
