[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the couple of SFS parents who keep dragging the school in these public forums: this practice is really tiresome. It’s a phenomenal and caring community that’s trying to do the best for all on balance — I’d suggest being grateful, enjoying it, trying to do the right thing, remembering our values and thinking of others before you speak/act. To me, a magical Charlie Brown-esque thing happened cca 2020 — the perennially aggrieved posts started sounding a whole lot like wah-wah-wah-wah [/quote]

Have not commented in this discussion before. Sidwell did a terrible job with the pandemic during the 20-21 school year, in every way imaginable. Their decisions were poor, and their communications were even worse.

They are doing a better job this year, most likely because the Board finally put pressure on Bryan to prioritize kids being physically in school, as he now references in pretty much every pandemic related message. Lack of transparency is still an issue, as pp noted. But this idea that parents shouldn't speak up or complain is complete BS. It's not all sunshine and roses there, and the sentiment expressed by pp is absurd. An attitude of "being grateful, enjoying it etc" regardless of the nonsense that the school serves up is precisely the type of attitude that allows their administrative mediocrity (and that's being charitable) to persist.[/quote]
