[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has been one of my big disappointments with Walls. We knew there wasn't much of a Walls campus, but it is crazy that the swim team commutes to Dunbar for practice everyday when GW has a pool. J-R is pulling up the ladder on having Walls students row on their crew team because of changes in how regattas are defining schools and school districts. So that opportunity is going away. Having a place for graduation is nice, but  the sports stuff affects kids day-in and day-out.[/quote]

Why would GW let Walls use their pool? [/quote]

Because it has a relationship with the the school? Because it is common for universities to let high schools use their pool?

In smaller cities, local govts are much more aggressive with requiring the universities in town to actually do stuff for the local community.[/quote]

[b]This isn't a small town. [/b]Maybe DC should actually build facilities for their schools. Other towns manage to do it with far lower taxes than DC [/quote]

So what? [/quote]
