[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a note, as a SFS parent, this board does NOT reflect the craziness of most parents at the school.  Yes, there are handful of super type-A, gunner people (as at any school) but, in my experience, this certainly is not representative of the school.  It's embarrassing that a handful of parents have these discussions on an anonymous board. [/quote]

The Sidwell parents I know are super competitive about everything. I think it does represent most. [/quote]

I'm not a Sidwell parent, but I don't know why the fact that there are competitive parents there is either surprising or necessarily negative. There's a type of school for everyone. If by "competitive" you mean that they value achievement, then of course they are, or else why would they send their kids to a school such as Sidwell. These are not the type of parents who would be totally fine if their their kids end up partying at a relaxed/[b]average LAC[/b], pulling a B- GPA. There's a type of parent and a type of kid who is gunning for the Ivy League and the Ivy League is full of such kids. [/quote]

Many Sidwell students attend such schools - and you are right - often the parents aren't happy about it, having expected better.  This is the kind of competitive we mean. [/quote]
