[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By the silence to the questions we may assume the following:

1.  Hardy doesn’t seem to care whether they use Jelleff field for the physical education needs of its student body and hasn’t bothered to ask.  And if they want to use Jelleff, perhaps the field use by the British School effectively precludes Hardy’s use during the school day.  It’s interesting that the for profit British School is given a complete pass when Jelleff field use during the school day potentially could benefit the entire student body.  Yet Maret is targeted and vilified for their far fewer hours of field use during a time that affects relatively few Hardy students, as compared to phys Ed enrollment.  This whole social media smear campaign seems more and more about hurting Maret than actually benefiting Hardy.

2.  It’s quite likely that the British School pays meaningfully less than Maret for more than twice as many hours and for more weeks, plus the right to park its buses at Jelleff.

Hardy has some outdoor space that can be used for PE.

Hardy does not have a regulation field that can be used for team sports practice and games after school.

But you know that and are just peddling crap.  Lord knows why.[/quote]

+1  And the British school is flexible enough to use Jelleff for sports practice during school hours.  I don't know of any other school that does that.  That's their prerogative as a private school, and the British school is flexible because it knows field space is at a premium.   Not like Maret who feels entitled to pay $95,000 a year and get one of the best fields in the city to the exclusion of the rest of the community.[/quote]
