[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a current Sidwell parent with high school kids who play sports 2-3 seasons a year, I can tell you that most parents at the school don't care at all that the football team is losing. Academics come first at Sidwell, and while the school strongly encourages exercise and athletic competition, few parents are going to worry about the score at the football game. What's important is that the kids have fun and stay healthy. I think the athletic director is doing just fine.[/quote] Exactly. This is the exact mentality of the parents and administrators of that school. It is why Sidwell is a doormat when it comes to sports. At other schools, excellence in the classroom and athletic fields are not mutually exclusive.[/quote]
