Is Sidwell really Sadwell?

That recent mental health study survey showed that majority of students felt depressed or were clinically diagnosed as such. That whole culture of school is entitled, arrogant and mean. By senior year, you want to just have the pain of this place end and move on to a better chapter of your life

Could this just be true for naturally smarter teens in general?

If only someone had conducted peer reviewed research on this question...

I think you would glum too if someone hiding in the bushes took a picture of you pumping gas.

Certainly not hurting for entitlement. Needless to say none of this is true

because Sidwell has the magic sauce to be perfect - when we all know no school is perfect

It would be nice if the results of the study were transparent. Families are educated enough to do what they want with the info but it would be nice to know the results.

Actually the results did not show that. A strength was the authenticity of the students' friendships and their sense of belonging. The achievement pressure is what is hard for kids. Though some of that isn't Sidwell's fault. It's a tough region.

Have you ever seen a group of Sidwell students in person ?

Good posture is not what comes to mind.
