[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Noone in the community is "scared of public school children". Infact everyone in the community supports public school education. What they dont support is building a school on top a neighborhood park - that is used by many -both within and outside the community. [b]There is an existing school on the property already and another public school one block away. It is unfair to burden a single neighborhood with 3 schools in a 2 block radius. [/b]
Hence once again- NOONE is against public schools; the community is against building a school on parkland with no traffic impact study. Hope that provides some clarification![/quote]

Hahahaha. Please see:
Georgetown Day School, Janney Elementary School, Wilson HS, Deal Middle School and slightly further down the block, Sidwell Friends and Hearst Elementary. Burden?[/quote]

There's lots of places in the city where schools are concentrated.

What gets me about the Foxhall types is how utterly clueless they are about how their arguments sound to other people, and how utterly unpersuasive they are

Throughout the community engagement process we would get Foxhallers pounding their fists and stomping their feet and insisting that they weren't being listened to. 
No, we listened to what you had to say. We heard your message. And nobody was persuaded by it.[/quote]
