This whole thing is dumb. If you sue your school over grades, you are probably a crazy person. If you think you can appeal such a ridiculous case to the Supreme Court, you are probably a really crazy person. And you should expect the school to retaliate or at least not support your admission anywhere. If I was Sidwell, I would tell every school not to take someone like this. You can't burn bridges with people and then ask them to help you.

However, it is the family's right to take legal action. Following the due process does not make you crazy. Retaliation preceded the lawsuit.

If you buy the notion that Sidwell engaged in retaliation, then please send your bank account information. There’s a fortune that someone is trying to transfer out of Nigeria, and you will get a generous share for your assistance.

Someone quoted it here. The headmaster assaulted the mom and said "retaliation is off the table".

Oh please. The headmaster did not assault the mom. He said, he wanted them gone.

Sidwell is a very small school. Being a track star at Sidwell doesn't mean much.

She was DC State Champion in the 100 meter run. This covers all DC public and private schools. That actually does mean much.

About 1% of students in DC do track and field as a sport. From a national athletic standpoint, it means close to nothing.

She is an All-American. She was ranked on a national level.

But she wasn’t recruited by any university, so how good was she really?

She ran at Penn...

Based on TFFRS she ran in 3 meets in 2016. Mediocre results. That was it.

but she ran in college, and according to the athlete worshippers on this forum, we should all believe in her grit, leadership, teamwork and time management because only athletes cultivate these skills.

Good for her. She walked on. But when she applied to college the first time, she wasn't good enough to be recruited. And apparently she wasn't compelling enough to be admitted by any institution to which she applied.

Even better for her. She gained admission based off of her academic merit.

I thought her academics were mediocre? What were her SATs and GPA? Difficult to assess situation without these facts.

Why did you assume her results were mediocre?

Which is irrelevant to the case. When she applied she was an All-American, which is far more than the average person can say they achieved.

There is no more case, they were rejected by the Supreme Court.

Okay, which is irrelevant to her claim. I am not surprised- Not with the likes of Brett Kavanaugh.

So please tell us, where did the lower courts err in their respective rulings?

Oh ffs. Try learning something about the categories of cases the supreme Court takes. This doesn't come close to fitting the bill. Go learn things.

From the complaint: "On one occasion Kozibrodzka conceded that her grading was incorrect and was forced, by Dayo’s protest before the entire class, to change her grade."

Pretty sure the student wasn't exactly an angel in this matter.

Pro tip #1: Teachers screw up grading all the time -- even math teachers. If you have a legitimate complaint talk to the teacher privately during your free period. This girl and her parents were just begging to get crapped on in teacher recommendations.

Pro tip #2: There are lots of great SLACs and public universities that are top 20 and have much higher acceptance rates than Ivies. You don't have to settle when you apply to safety schools!

I don't think this a bad thing and you do not know the context. The only objective thing is that the teacher was wrong.

[Anonymous]

So now the family has lost in three levels of courts and was forced to pay Sidwell’s costs, a sanction imposed in our litigious society only on the worst abusers of the judicial system who bring the most frivolous claims. In the former Head of School’s phrase, thank goodness that they are finally “gone, gone, gone”! Good riddance to them.

The complaint is one side’s assertions, not factual findings.
