[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GTFO with your "but I'm a taxpayer."

Taxpayers cover the costs of Nationals park and cleaning Muriel Bowser's office every night and no expects to just hang out there at any hour of the day.[/quote]

Nobody is saying they have the right to go into a locked school building in the middle of the night or disturb a school function.  We're talking about opening public fields on a Saturday afternoon so kids can simply kick around a soccer ball, just like they do at so many other public schools in the city.[/quote]

But WHO is going to open the playground? WHO will pay for that person who opens the playground. WHO Is then going to close it 8 hours (or whatever) later? Having had my kid's DCPS preschool teacher be admonished for a lesson on playground maintenance after her kids stepped in poop and wanted to talk about it in class, I was fine w/the playground being closed.

If it helps, think about how you would feel if your child actually attended your neighborhood school and had to share to their outdoor learning/recess/PE/play space with the neighborhood. [/quote]
