Possible Rape at Sidwell?

[Anonymous]

I agree regarding single gender schools - best gift a parent can give for a child (whether they appreciate it or not - and most don't until later).

The irony for Sidwell is that they do a fine job protecting students from the outside, but can't prevent the camp counselors, guidance counselors and fellow students from causing problems. Not sure what the answer is.

this school? Are they not reaching respect for women?

Guess the secret service should have let them go to GDS.

Don't think so.

Just another reason I prefer same sex-schools for both sexes. Keep dating/sex/competition out of the schools.

Uh, really?

Then they can go into the Real World, where they will be years behind their peers in learning how to navigate dating/sex/competition in the workplace.

GDS is an "open campus." The kids just go into the alleys of Tenleytown.

The headline from Jezebel is: "D.C. Police Investigating Rape Report at Sasha and Malia Obama's School"

After 7 years, this is par for the course whenever there is a story involving Sidwell Friends.

I agree but this an alleged rape case. When discussing rape the victims are supposed to be protected (especially minors) so to throw in the underage First Daughters in the headline is especially egregious. Jezebel wasn't even gracious enough to say "First Daughters" or "President's children", they used their full names as if this is directly tied to them. I just can't believe that a female-orientated site would be so careless and downright tacky.

The facts:

two teenagers had a prior sexual relationship

teens are having sex

there is always someone every few years getting busted " in the act " at school so we know sex goes on.

That is not scandal

Now, the question is how do parents in NW DC Privates behave when they think their DC was wronged be it a C on a test or not enough play time on a sport.

I have no idea what happened in that bathroom, but my gut is that the official story has parents written all over it.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if there is a bit of truth in what you said.

Yes really. Sorry if you just don't get it (well...sorry for your children). A same sex environment (especially for boys) is the healthiest environment you can provide your children for learning. Take sex out of the equation -- at least out of the classroom, where the focus should be learning.
