[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talked to my GDS high schooler about what I saw in this thread.

Their summary -

The HS principal and her top couple of admins are atrocious. Aloof, not present at many student events, “always traveling to conferences” according to a teacher. The prior HS head was much better on this front. What happened to her BTW?

yes, DEI still is involved the student disciplinary process (including for non DEI discipline issues). The entire framing of discipline actions is around DEI framework. Even for things that have nothing to do w DEI.

Yes, most assemblies are now DEI (down from 100 percent last two years. Now maybe 75 percent). Progress!!!

Yes, many students and teachers are guarded in classroom discussions around political events or historic events for fear of saying something that will be turned into DEI office on an anonymous form

The DEI office is very exclusionary. They do zero to support Jewish, Indian, Asian kids. Until this year no events etc. now a bare few. Even the office itself which is a defacto hang out for 10-15 kids between classes and gives off an unwelcome vibe for non black kids who want to go ask a question in there of the admin.

And finally, the vast majority of kids my kid knows hate this performative stupidity. It’s GDS after all. You aren’t here unless you buy into the mission.  It will never be Gt Prep. But for god sake, the admin and school have shoved this so far down kid throats. [/quote]

Many are there for the name, not the mission. And what is the mission nowadays? Wasn’t part of the reason the school was founded to have a private school where Jews were welcome? How far has the school strayed from its mission?[/quote]

We like the convenient location [/quote]

Sidwell is right down the street and is nowhere NEAR this level of insanity. [/quote]
