[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maret takes the field five days per week after school for the prime after school hours during the prime fall and spring athletic seasons - because, as their leadership says, the Maret students really need to get home at a reasonable hour for dinner and homework. These are the hours the BGCGW members are in the after-school program so those kids don’t get any access to the field. This occurs even if Maret doesn’t use the field. It sits empty on those afternoons. So this is a de facto monopoly of the entire space during the only time that others could use it and Maret refuses to share the space despite there being ten other interested parties. Maret doesn’t want to share even it is not using the space. What terrible example are they setting for their students?  What sorts of values are the kids there learning?[/quote]

Why not ask the Maret Board of Trustees what values their kids are learning?  Because I see tons of language on their website about diversity and equity and they're not living their values.
