[quote=Anonymous]Sidwell prides itself on being tough when it comes to grades. The new headmaster said exactly that when he was introducing himself to parents at the beginning of the year. He said said and this almost a direct quote "A C at Sidwell would be an A at most other schools." That's the difference between Sidwell and a school like GDS. It's a tough for the entire class. GDS epitomizes the "everyone deserves a prize kind of school." Sidwell has no academic prizes. It's a tough, rigourous school and that has some positives but also some real negatives. Tom Farquar was forced out because he was trying to get teachers to lighten up a little. He was right. [/quote]
