[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are many of the people here actually Maret parents? Or are y’all upset that your child did not get into Maret and need a scapegoat to place the blame on? There are so many private schools in DC, so why would the former Whittle families only choose Maret to apply to? [/quote]

Yes the people who keep starting to bash maret and bisgaard are not even whittle families and fail to remember that no one had applied this year and if they did they are not going/did not get in.[/quote]

What are you talking about?!! People cited at least 3 different transfers and more to come [/quote]

'People cited' on this board, meaning one person made up a story to whip up imaginations. There were no 'transfers' and won't be any this summer. [/quote]

Correct. Whoever started this rumor has started a huge lie.[/quote]

I guess you will be greeted with a surprising welcoming come September  :lol: [/quote]

Where? At Maret? Elaborate. [/quote][/quote]

Why is everyone so surprised that kids were able to secure a spot at another school? Parents read the tea leaves last fall/winter and applied out. I expect that there are lots of whittle kids going to all the different privates, not just Maret. I feel badly for the families that didn’t jump the sinking ship and are now wondering what they’re going to do…but it seemed pretty clear what was going to happen some time ago now. Applying out wasn’t a nefarious action…and I don’t know why Maret is being targeted for accepting good, smart kids.

Because there were no admissions standards at Whittle and there was very little to no learning going on.[/b] 
There are many top students from top publics and/or top K-8 schools (outlying fantastic students at known entities with known/consistent instruction standards) who were waitlisted at Maret.

I know some kids that went there for high school that are very smart and self starters who would have been able to compensate even without teachers to do well on self learning and exams.  Just remember, you can't pain everyone with the same brush.[/quote]

Stable geniuses all, especially on the capital strategery committee. Those ones are the most covfefe[/quote]

Are you mocking the students? Maybe leave them out of this. Besides learn how to spell strategy, instead of typing “strategery.”[/quote]

Why not? Esp some of the ones from the strategery committee, just like the students in the Operation Varsity Blues are mockable. Are the ones winning the prizes and getting into top colleges from a failed school all future scientists and genius self-starters? I doubt it. Are they old enough to be complicit? Just like in the OVB, yes. The entire thing is strategery by the capital investment committee (on which, yes these few families and a Bisgaard were privy to and made financial decisions shoulder to shoulder with Whittle, and, worse, represented the parents and faculty unelected) that devastated more trusting families of lesser needs, employees/teachers and vendors. Read the WBJ reporting.

And no, you haven’t left 2 years ago if your wife is getting paid and your kid’s getting to graduate against odds and presumably with no fees. Plus you founded it, stayed 2.5 years to lead a “3 year total school” so I’m not so easily pushed off the real story here. They also had no comment just two days ago - neither one, to WBJ, that’s all I need to know.

Look up strategery. That’s exactly what this is. [/quote]
