[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Bottom line: Hardy having a parking lot is 100% irrelevant. It is not Hardy's duty to find a way to accommodate Maret. If Maret wants to buy the Hardy parking lot it can make an offer for it to DC[/quote]

It should be Hardy's job to find a way to accommodate its own students, which means putting them first ahead of staff convenience.  Hardy has the space to build a large-sized playing field on its own campus.  This would involve moving the court to where the parking area is.  Hardy could decide to dispense with parking altogether, which is the preferred DDOT alternative.   For example, John Eaton has no staff parking.  Hardy instead could decide to dispense with the court (there is one available at Jelleff.). Or Hardy could ask DCPS to put the court on top of the parking.

I doubt, however, that many at Hardy would want to see Maret own a field on the Hardy campus instead of Hardy students having a field on their own campus.  [/quote]

No, it is Maret's job to find a way to accommodate its own students on its own facilities-it's not the job of the DC taxpayer.  That's why parents pay $40k/year.  Maret has the space to build a large-sized playing field on its own campus. Maret should be so ashamed of the way it's unable to do so or to move its campus to find a larger space as Sidwell and GDS have done.  [/quote]

Every parent at Maret is wishing their kid had gotten into a Cathedral School or Sidwell or GDS instead so they could have a proper field of their own and not have their reputation dragged through the mud.[/quote]
