[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like a no brainer to me.  If you don’t like the way things are done, avoid the school and the program.[/quote]

What if you like everything about the school other than the one corrupt program, where the coach is doing unethical and illegal things that harm kids. Seems like it would be worthwhile to see if that problem could be fixed. [/quote]

If the HOS and others in the administration are complicit in “the one corrupt program,”  how much about the school could you like? If the school allows corrupt behavior in one program, you should assume they allow it in others. You’re naive if you think otherwise. If they allow a coach to treat students like chattel, why would you entrust your kid to them?[/quote]

There are lots of things to like, including the location, good school spirit, and the fact that it’s co-Ed. I definitely think the baseball situation sounds terrible, and I agree it reflects extremely poorly on the school administration. My hope is that the publicity this issue is receiving might lead to some changes.  Other issues first covered on DCUM have made it into the Washington Post. I’d love to see them pick this story up.
