[quote=Anonymous]I think that is a totally fair question.  I personally think that the school should be responsible for counting trips ONTO ITS CAMPUS -- this is something the school can accurately police.

I guess if people wanted to count the adjacent streets, and they know how to police that, that would be fine too.

I think it's ridiculous, by contrast, to make the school responsible for counting trips to Wisconsin Avenue (which is ridiculously busy -- and frankly people have a legal right to drive on it and no one can honestly say that there is an expectation to a hushed environment on that street, to say the least).  And I think dropping east of Wisconsin cannot and should not be policed, either.

At the end of the day, what I find so obnoxious about the ANC head and his allies is for implying violations that do not exist and are based on rules that they wrote in their heads, and not in the agreement itself.  You can't castigate people for following the rules.  In the hearing, he made a huge deal of posting the map GDS put out to parents on prohibited streets.  The map is completely accurate, when compared to the agreement!  And the school should have made this absolutely clear in protecting its parents, which it did not do in the hearing.

You cannot make this huge crazy thing about punishing GDS and its parents for doing drop offs they are totally entitled to do.  The whole ANC focus was on punishing prohibited conduct, to ensure other schools like River don't do the same thing.   It is total BS factually.  At least as to the trip counts and prohibited streets, the ANC literally made up rules to say GDS and its parents violated them that are not in the agreement at all.  They need to be called on this.

You can't enforce prohibitions that only exist in your head.[/quote]
