Wow. That's great.

Flint Hill won

Ha! So, a Flint Hill parent came here to brag. That’s why s/he asked the score?

Look, mediocre, your kid school is not better because they won a football game or the Universal League. Actually, it looks a little more stupid.

Welcome to the wonderful world of reclassification. 90% of these kids will never make it to D1 schools or professional leagues. Parents need to focus on academics and not sports if you have to hold your child back to be competitive.

If they were focused on academics, they wouldn't be at Flint Hill in the first place.

Well, but that is just it. A school that uses kids and then sends them to second and third tier colleges is not doing those kids any favors. At least the football kids from Sidwell who continue to play are at ivy's, NESCAC and top D3 schools, the ACC and tippy-top Pac12 schools.

It seems good to me that Flint Hill is teaching the Sidwell kids how to lose. That is a valuable lesson. Not sure why parents on here are so upset about it.

I haven't seen anyone upset about it. It is weird that people keep trolling scores of meaningless high school football games.

Just imagine that person sexual, professional, social lives... so pathetic those Flint Hint parents/coaches/etc...

The school doesn’t look stupid, but an OP trying to belittle the top rated school in the area based on a football game does.

Top rated school? When did we start talking about GDS?

Horrible.

Huh? Where do you get this from? Fake news

I have no idea if it still happens, but it 100% happened to us when we applied. Went on a nice tour that started with a discussion of going to a Quaker school. Then at the very end, they gathered everyone in a room and proceeded to tell us that all of us needed to write an essay describing our child. I laughed that they would do this, but many other people had looks of terror on their faces. And we weren't in a room with desks - some of us had to stand up and write using the walls as a backdrop for the paper.

I thought it was classless to spring that on us. Luckily my son got into STA and we were happy to send him there. The entire surprise parental essay really turned us off. But I have no idea if they still do it.

They did that intentionally to keep parents occupied during the play date observation.

Intentions aside it was still a grade A asshole move

People have been trolling Sidwell football for a long time. It’s a little like trolling the Nationals for the quality of the hamburgers at the stadium. Yes, it’s an issue but that’s not why you go to the ball game. But even then, there are other choices like hotdogs, crab cakes and pizza. Still, if you are buying a $120 ticket to a ball game for the food inside the park, your priorities are all wrong.
