[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think this story is isolated or that it only happens at Sidwell. There was an article in the news paper about a parent who took a student under his wing and provided mentors so he could be successful a few weeks ago for another school. I have done this for a boy in yet another school and that story will never be in the paper.

The Washington Jesuit School does this for all their students.

I think the lesson should be that yes we should foster kids that are not "making the grade" instead of getting rid of them. This should be a lesson to all schools and it should not be categorized as "lowering standards".

It takes a lot more than just being able to put a ball in a basket to be a basketball player recruited by Syracuse, but few understand that. It takes dedication, a passion for something, hard work, leadership skills, etc.

People in DC just don't like to hear that an athlete is successful.

It is disgrassful that annonymous adults are specificially calling a child out and saying they "lowered their standards". Just becaues he is black, plays basketball and grew up in Wheaton. You are pathetic.
