[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It got popular when Chelsea went there, and then when the Obama girls went there. This city is full of a$$ kissers, and people wanted to be there just to be able to say they send their kids to school with the president's kids. [/quote]

The city is full of:

1.  Highly educated parents who want the best education money can buy
2.  Families with progressive attitudes
3.  Families not interested in an overly religious educational experience
4.  Students / parents not interested in single sex education
5.  Families living in areas with lower quality public options
6.  Upper middle class AA families who don't care for the limited diversity offered in their publics school (e.g. Whitman is 4% AA)
7.  Students who thrive in a more intimate setting than larger schools provide
8.  Parents desirous of a school that seeks to develop the whole child

I am not saying that social climbers are absent from the community. Nor am I saying that Sidwell is unique in being able to offer these attributes.  But, reducing the many and varied reasons to a stupid axiom speaks only to your ignorance.[/quote]
