[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree. The message is that if you are a good athlete, you get preferential treatment. Very disappointing and hopefully not a trend for Sidwell.[/quote] Your interpretation seems incorrect. First, no preferential treatment by the school, because the school was ready to dismiss him for low grades, despite his athletic success. According to the article, what saved him was a group of parents willing to lobby on his behalf and volunteer time to help him improve. Plus, most importantly, his own willingness to work hard. Reads like a success story to me. I'm not sure why you'd work so hard to see the negative here.[/quote]
