[quote=Anonymous]As much as the "GDS view" (for lack of a better phrasing) of equality and respect of all individuals, and the celebration of differences, reflects my and DH's views of the world, I have been somewhat put off by the sense that I have gotten from a few GDS parents, and the tone of two of the open house faculty speakers.  This is very subjective, but I felt that these speakers in particular really seemed to be of the view that they were the only school to take the view that differences are to be respected and valued.  It just seems such an obvious point to me, and an odd point the essentially be deriding other schools for.  I have also gotten this sense form a few parents, and even two students.  I'm all for being proud of ones school and the values taught at it, but I am concerned at the adversarial/strident tone.  I have such a limited view (a relatively small number of encounters), but thought this view may articulate what some others are thinking.  This was a school that I was seriously considering, and would again seriously consider at later years.  We decided to apply to only one school this year, and thankfully our DD was accepted, but had we not had this (again very subjective) sense from GDS we would likely have applied there as well.
