[quote=Anonymous] So GDS=confidence building Sidwell=soul crushing As a tutor with a lot of direct contact with kids at both schools, I would agree to a certain extent. I think the stereotype of Sidwell grind v. GDS kumbaya has some truth to it. But the middle pack and lower kids at Sidwell are better "students" in my experience. They are motivated to do well and can't because they are struggling with a concept or a subject. GDS kids - painting with a broad brush here - have generally fallen further behind when they get to me. They are catching up with foundational issues and it tends to be more of struggle to catch them up.[/quote]
