[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that Sidwell let Josh Hart return means they’re no different from the schools where you claim the athletes don’t need to worry much about their grades.

And I don’t think you believe that Sidwell has any academic peers. So this discussion is basically moot.[/quote]

The fact that Sidwell expelled Josh Hart in the first place, for academic reasons, is precisely why Sidwell is very different from schools like Landon, Bullis, SJC, etc. Josh would have sailed through those schools with mostly Bs. He was only allowed to return to Sidwell because parents and students advocated on his behalf. His return to Sidwell was conditioned on the fact that he had to improve his academic performance—and he did.[/quote]
The fact that Sidwell gave him any route back means that his prior academic performance became completely irrelevant. For all practical purposes, they wiped the slate clean.

And you like to brag so much about Sidwell having no academic peer, well, Villanova doesn't light a candle to the schools where some of the other athletes upthread graduated.[/quote]
