``I am a somewhat recent (past 10 years) graduate of a DC private school so I have a bit of personal experience here's what I've come up with... ''
Ahh, once again the use of 10 years...The poster is about to reveal himself. Very likely a member of the Landon community. Very, very likely. I would say. |

| There is one kid who identifies himself as a Sidwell student when surfaces occasionally to champion the school. |
Doubtful. Sidwell has the ugilest kids, other than GDS, in whole metro area. [shudder] |
| And the "mean girl" set emerges. |
No, just the honest people who arent impressed with Sidwell or Sidwell students merely because all the lemmings are. Sidwell students are no smarter nor more accomplished than their peers at other area privates but, in an ugly contest, they do quite well. Of course, this is partly becasue they think their looks and attire dont matter as they operate under the belief that the Sidwell name is glamour enough. |
Maybe Sidwell students aren't attractive, I don't really know. I also don't know what you look like. But I do one thing. You don't have a very attractive personality. |
Touche!

You didn't get in to Sidwell, did you? Or you DD/S? |
| I love how the Sidwell parents attack anyone who dares say anything less than glowing about Sidwell. The response is nearly always "you didn't get in to [sic] Sidwell, did you?" |
| Why rise to the bait when someone--one assumes an adolescent--says that everyone at School X is physically ugly? No Lincoln-Douglas level of discourse will ever ensue. |
Never applied, not myself nor any of my children. Never have, and likely never will, understand the appeal. |
That's fine and all, but to come on here a call people who actually have interactions and experiences with Sidwell "lemmings"? If you're running that hard to that wall, I feel bad for you that you have to focus so much energy on one place that doesn't even care about you. |
| If I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed. Say something once, why say it again? |
I'm always impressed with the level of psychic ability displayed on these boards. I mean here I think, "Anonymous...could be a Sidwell parent, could be a parent at a different school, could be a person with no kids yet, could be a high school kid pretending to be an adult", and I'm totally shown up by someone who know which anonymous poster fits into which category. Wish I had those skills. |
