| I'm sure they are having fun and learning the game losing 62-0. |

Next up is a game tomorrow against a Baltimore charter school that started playing football last year. Good job AD on searching far and wide for someone to beat.

Sidwell boys soccer is currently the top-ranked team in DC according to the DCSAA, and has the top scorer in the DMV region. They are also 11-0-2 under a completely new coaching staff, with loads of young talent. Sidwell girls soccer had the Gatorade player of the year last year (and soccer is not even her first sport), and was also rated as the top team by the Washington Post this year after winning the DC state championship.

OK |
| We know who you are who keeps boosting the Sidwell program. We get it. They have a good sports teams, but you really need to get a job. |
| As my son said, whenever the Sidwell bus pulled up to his school, it was a guaranteed laughter win. |
Wow, you think it’s appropriate for your son to say things like that |
| Given what SFS did with Josh Hart, I just hope nobody on this board ever criticizes Bullis again for its sports recruiting practices. Nothing they've ever done compares to what SFS did in this case. |
You are most definitely a Sidwell parent. |
So they can slammed for playing tough schools and get slammed for playing easy schools. How about, just let the kids play the schedule they are given and let them have fun. |
Sidwell didn't reclassify him, they didn't have him enter as an upper classman and ultimately, he able to achieve his academic goals. I don't see fault here. They don't bring in 5th year seniors or kids to play a sport for one semester before sending them back to their public school; they aren't recruriting kids from all over the country an they most definitely are not using kids in high school and sending them to mediocre D2 schools. |

They brought Hart in to play basketball. There is nothing wrong with that. But that makes them no better than any other school.
Ringers. 62-0 losses. Quaker Values. |
You should see how Sidwell students react when kids from your son's school show up for the SAT. |
| It's their parents bank accounts that get them in to school, not the SAT. |
Huh? I suspect that most full-pay families are rejected. |
