[quote=Anonymous]OP here - OK maybe my new money vs old money comment doesn't hold true anymore. What I really want in a school is one that has a sustainable vision of the future and a community that buys into it. Unfortunately, I don't live in the suburbs and I refuse to drive more than 40 minutes to the school. I like that people at Sidwell are willing to spend money on sustainable building and practices even if it doesn't currently reap enormous $ savings, only carbon footprint savings. I like that they have a curriculum that stresses sustainability and environmental protection and that the kids grow up learning about all this. 
Many schools have jumped on the sustainability bandwagon but most are doing it for show, like the school DS is at now, for instance. Many of the staff, faculty and more than a few parents would like the school to be proactive but the administration is primarily concerned with the schools image, not the actual substance. I'm not singling them out for criticism either, most schools and companies for that matter do the same thing.
If I'm wrong about Sidwell please enlighten me.[/quote]
