[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, clearly the negative Sidwell posts were written by someone completely unfamiliar with the school.  Not my experience at all.  There is a nice mix of stay at home and working parents, younger and older parents, etc., just like any other school.  And my children transferred to Sidwell, where they have been happier than they ever were in their other school.[/quote]

It's good that you believe that your children are happy at Sidwell -- I hope for their sake that you are right.

You are wrong about the compartive demographics - there are statistics on such things.

As to what parents value at Sidwell, consider one of the early posts on this thread:

[b][i]Why the obsession with Sidwell? 
1. Chelsea Clinton 
2. Malia Obama 
3. Sasha Obama 
4. Lots of apps and thus rejections. We all want what is hard-to-get (e.g., Bill Gates trying to join Augusta National Golf Club).[/i][/b]
Now does that sound like someone interested in their child's well being or their own social status?  just asking.

Why do you think this was written by a Sidwell parent explaining their thinking? It sounds more like an interested person speculating about why so many are obsessed with the school.[/quote]
