[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speaking of the echo chamber of Maret parents, the woman quoted in the latest Washington Post article wins the prize for pearl clutcher of the day.  
You would think that an adult would be balanced enough to realize that the public school kids who have to travel across the city to get games are in far greater danger than she is at Jelleff where there hasn’t been the remotest hint of violence, even though people are very resentful of Maret.

[quote]Celina Gerbic, a Dupont Circle resident whose 16-year-old son plays soccer on Jelleff’s athletic field, has begun to worry that she could be physically assaulted on the premises. “You feel that way,” she told me, “because of the vehemence and vitriol.”  The cause of all these bad feelings is the city’s recent extension of a controversial agreement giving exclusive prime-time field hours at Jelleff to the Maret School, the elite private school in Woodley Park that Gerbic’s son attends.

Good grief. [/quote]

What a douche.  If Maret feels so unsafe being around public school people at Jelleff, they should just cancel their backroom deal and leave Jelleff’s public park to the public.[/quote]
