[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1.  Sidwell is not the gold standard;

2.  The statements regarding Sidwell's athletics, hiring of a child molester, the misogynistic Senior essay, et al. are factual; and

3.  The only obsession lies with the Sidwell parents who continue to deny reality and have to resort to slinging mud at schools like Landon, using terms like "meathead", etc.[/quote]

1. You would have better luck convincing people of your insider knowledge of Sidwell's flaws if you paid more attention to your DCUM reading comprehension.  The most recent DCUM controversy was about a senior poem, not essay.
2.  I find those like you who harp only on football more than a little sexist, if not misogynistic--no mention of or caring about girls' sports.  Only football matters to you and the three others who posted 50 pages on that topic.
3.  Sadly, any Excellent school can get burned in hiring (I wonder if we can think of any examples in Northwest DC?  Oh right, Beauvoir.

Why the obsession with Sidwell?
1. Chelsea Clinton
2. Malia Obama
3. Sasha Obama
4. Lots of apps and thus rejections.  We all want what is hard-to-get (e.g., Bill Gates trying to join Augusta National Golf Club).
5. Some of this perceived fenzy appears to be just a few people churning posts.

We are a proud Cathedral family but recognize the excellence of Sidwell, seen in our adult friends who are alums and in current students we know.  It is not a perfect place and not every kid is a genius, but the same can be saidmof Harvard, Yale, Stanford.  [/quote]
