[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maret is getting the support of the DC private school community.  Maret feels unfairly maligned but some of the invective against them Maret-Jelleff arrangement seems to be vitriol directed at private schools in general.  There are thousands of parents and students in the independent school community who live in our Nation’s Capital, the majority of them west of Rock Creek Park.  Who do you think will carry more weight with Mary Cheh?  Maret and other independent school parents or Hardy parents, a minority of whom live WOTP?[/quote]

Nope.  Plenty of private schools families don’t understand why in the world Maret doesn’t own their own fields the way their schools do.[/quote]

Maret has a large playing field.  If your kids play rec soccer, chances are they have played at Maret.  (You’re welcome.). Unlike DC schools which are separated on different sites into elementary, middle and high schools, Maret has all three divisions on the same modest-sized campus.  So the one field is not adequate during peak outdoor sports seasons.  The historic landmark designation and a DC regulatory ore debt effectively precludes Maret from developing its front yard into another field.[/quote]

Why does Maret expect others to make up for its inadequacies?  Is this what they teach their students?

Bury the parking and turf it for a field like Sidwell did.[/quote]

+1. Does anyone know who does planning for Maret? I would like to send them a note asking them to do their job in the next year so they can get their own facility. [/quote]
