[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The difference between GDS and Sidwell is that Sidwell is a lot more structured than GDS when it comes to academics. There is no ``go at your own pace'' and ``learn to your level'' of interest approach. GDS is great if you are strong, motivated and intellectual student. Sidwell is great for that too, but the kids in the middle of the pack are held to a higher standard than at GDS, where they are sort of left to ``find themselves.'' It's those middle of the pack students at GDS that give the school a reputation for being filled with partiers.[/quote] I have a kid at GDS HS, and I have no idea what you are talking about. What courses are you talking about that let kids "go at your own pace" and/or "learn to your level?" Never heard of this, unless you are talking about the most advanced kids, who are routinely allowed to take very advanced courses if they are ready for them. Good luck with that at Sidwell. [/quote]
