[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand exactly WTF Hardy is whining about.  They've been promised preferred rights on Ellington's field.  Next to having a field on your own campus, that's pretty good.  No need to bus across town, just a stroll (or preferably, a run) down the street.[/quote]

1. They haven't been promised anything.
2. The Ellington field is smaller and lower quality than Jelleff.
3. None of the foregoing makes the Maret deal a good deal for the public. [/quote]

2 - Then the Hardy community can raise money to raise “Ellington” field to the standard to which the Hardy community wishes to become accustomed.  That’s what Maret did.  Given that Hardy parents aren’t paying private school tuition, some of them at least could afford a decent contribution or could use their considerable skill set to raise money from deeper pocketed donors.[/quote]

That's how private education works. That's not how public education works.

Definitely a lot of Maret parents feel that because they have more money they have a bigger claim on public assets. That's not how democracy works. [/quote]
