Playing a fall sport is good advice (at Sidwell, or at any other school); your son might consider cross-country -- nice group of kids, no cuts and good conditioning for any sport. For kids who need some help with math, there's always a teacher or strong 11th or 12-grader available in the math room to help (this is not the dept. office, but a separate room). Try to work with other 9th-grade parents to set up social events just for 9th-graders or for 9th and 10th-graders only. The younger kids are sometimes a little intimidated by the dances with the much older kids; though they're initially excited about going, once they get there it might not be as much fun as they thought. The kids definitely want to get together to socialize, but the dances might feel too pressured.

| I'm sorry but the Sidwell rising 9th grade boys are not a "nice group." They have been called out for bullying and bad behavior a number of times. |

You are getting your grades confused or you are just a troll. |

Not a troll and not getting grades confused. There is a group of not nice boys who just finished 8th grade. They have been called out for bad behavior several times in the past few years. Specific incidents are well known among the class.

You are lying. There has not been a single incident involving a group of boys of any significance in that grade ever. Find another school to stalk. |

There have been several issues with certian boys in the rising 9th grade. One issue was at a school dance. Another involved an off campus party where a ring of boys behaved very badly toward a boy from another school. Parents and administrators were involved.
Don't get on some high horse and think your little Johnny Sidwell is perfect. Maybe yours is actually but there are others then who are not. And don't get me wrong, anyone in this city would be hard pressed to name a school where there has not been any bullying or bad choices by rising 9th graders. |

| Just want to make sure I got this right. When someone asks me if my son is in high school I am to say no, he is in upper school? Got it. |

No i do, just saying no one really cares where your kid goes to school, really they don't |

The only sad thing is that someone has to name call. I guess the apples don't far from that upper school tree. |

| NP here. Do any of you trading insults for the past several posts actually have any children at Sidwell? |
