[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]They can be in trailers on the Murch site. That is perfectly viable, but parents don't like it.[/quote]

This.   The audacity of assuming that the school population should storm a private church and tennis court/ball field/playground offered [u]to the entire city[/u] -- and take them out of commission --  is rather entitled.  But the Murch parents don't even hear themselves talk.

Just stay where you are, accept that you don't need that much play space, anyway, because as a DCPS there frankly isn't many minutes of recess, and be done with it. [/quote]

Wow...just wow.  Murch has gone so long without renovation and been pushed aside repeatedly for Janney and Lafayette.  Not saying we are entitled to anything but right now we're just trying to figure out any solution.  And it is not perfectly viable.  Viable yes but far from perfect.  And maybe you don't ever go by the Murch playground during the day but it is rare that there are not kids out playing - recess, PE or even just a class project.[/quote]

Murch better be prepared to stand aside again because DC's first priority right now is the Duke Ellington renovation, which is closing on $200 million and counting.[/quote]

Right, but the city can't afford double decker trailers to house 700 little kids and save some space to line up in the morning to enter the building and maybe even stretch a little during recess.[/quote]
