[quote=Anonymous]I also attended Quaker schools growing up. I have a DC at Sidwell. No, it does not have the feel of a true Quaker school. There is little emphasis on simplicity and modesty, both core Quaker values. The elitism and materialism gets in the way of seeing God equally in all beings. HOS is, to use a term applied to him by some parents, a prestige whore who favors wealthy, connected families. Decision making is not transparent: there is no attempt at building consensus. It’s a highly competitive school that provides a good education for highly driven, bright students. Sidwell was once Quaker, I understand, from people Wjo attended in the 80’s. It is Quaker now in name only.[/quote]
