[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maret admits students from Deal from time to time.  Who will bet that hell will probably freeze over before a Hardy student is admitted?[/quote]

No big deal.  DCPS parents value fairness and caring for the community, and won't want to expose their kids to Maret values. [/quote]

And most Maret kids are from VA and MD anyway--we DC taxpayers just fund them for the pure joy of it.  [/quote]

How is that and who is we? [/quote]

Tax-free facility (not for profit) and the Jelleff side deal.[/quote]

Maret, like other 501c3s, is tax-exempt.  If it weren't for nonprofits, a not-insubstantial employment sector in the District would just disappear.  The District's economy can't run simply on real estate development, law firms, and barristas.[/quote]

Do your teachers live in DC and pay DC income taxes? Get out a lot for lunch and support local businesses? Otherwise, I’m not that impressed with what you’re bringing to the DC economy. [/quote]

+1 Yup.  When you think of the property taxes DC Government is foregoing on Maret’s 7 acre campus (on which they can’t manage to squeeze an athletic field without grabbing a public park), DC would be better off without Maret.[/quote]
