It is not a rumor. It's a fact. A Maret parent who attended Sidwell.

She should have written a book about being a Maret parent…although even fewer people would read it.

The bio says the author is an alum of a private school in Washington DC- obviously Sidwell. It’s published by Penguin Randomhouse so obviously a “real” writer- did you ever consider it’s a pen name for someone who has written other things?

The Ousmane character is Mamadou, no?

There was an art teacher named Percy at SFS back in the 80’s and 90’s

There are also Maret alum whose kids went to or attend Sidwell currently.

It is not a big deal, parents send their kids to the school that is the best fit.

Was he better than Ms. B who currently teaches ceramics at Sidwell? She was made to be an art/ceramics teacher! My daughter LOVES her ceramics classes, and she’s not particularly artsy.

S/he wishes. It was “Published by Alcove Press” and apparently edited by an ESL editor and not a very good one

Overheard at P&P this morning:

Customer: I need three copies of a book called "it's a privilege just to be here."

Employee: That's on our local authors table. [Walks over.] We have two copies here... looks like these are our last two, we do have a lot more coming in. We'd like to leave one copy out?

Customer heads towards registers with one copy.
