then why do you send your daughter there?[/quote]

Good question. Have to admit we did consider transferring. But, like I said, school is remarkably good. And once you’re there, it’s risky to transfer to a new school Junior Year. Better to just grit your teeth and plough through. I. Words of Abe Lincoln “This too shall pass” [/quote]

So you didn’t come to this realization about Sidwell until your daughter was in 10th grade?  That doesn’t sound plausible. Just admit that you’re addicted to prestige. Like Harvard’s medical school, Sidwell’s “name” has you in a stranglehold. Well, you’re getting what you signed up for [shrug]. [/quote]

Honest question so I will answer it. Joined in 9th grade. Got some early warning signs that this place is toxic but we thought we should give it an honest shot. By the end of first term 9th grade, we were pretty sure. By March or April we were positive. But all transfer  deadlines had expired. Then we were in 10th grade and you could apply in 10th grade fall but would not actually transfer until Junior fall. So, in some sense you are correct, we have to lie in this slimy, horrid, toxic soup of a bed that we all affectionately adore as “sadwell no friends.” Oh well. [/quote]

Sorry your child has no friends at Sadwell. 😢 My child attends Sidwell and has plenty of friends and a robust social life. It’s the tale of two schools. [b]Your child attends the version I know nothing about.[/b] [/quote] It’s parents like you that create the swamp-more like you and your kid are well aware and just don’t care. It’ll catch up to you someday, a lack of empathy…[/quote]
