[quote=Anonymous]First, as a non-Sidwell parent I have contributed to this discussion with information on how my kids' schools approach things. I think that is relevant. Second, the 7th grade meeting was held by the college guidance counselors and is well, well beyond the pale of what schools should be doing. Most of the privates in this area have to calm the parents (this part is all about the parents) down until junior year, not rev them up. There is absolutely no reason to discuss colleges before 11th grade at a private school. Public schools might be different because kids need to know what courses to take. Even then its totally unnecessary before high school. But at a school like Sidwell where all of the school is college prep, it is absolutely unhealthy to have the college guidance counselors talk to parents of 7th graders about college.[/quote]
