[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell recruits kids for varsity tennis, especially in 9th grade. Two of the top four girls on the team came in as freshmen this year. They were already established players in the section and joined the team to keep its impressive stats.

The point is that other schools don’t follow the same practice, or at least not to the same extent. [/quote]

St John's does.

This is not something new in the world of high school sports. Some schools do it, some don't - some do it just for certain sports. Sidwell does it for tennis and basketball. Other schools do it for lacrosse, or whatever....  It's life. If you don't like it, choose a school that doesn't have sports teams or one that doesn't recruit for sports.

I meant other schools of the same academic caliber. [/quote]

That’s my point. It’s as if schools are only allowed to be superior in one area—academics OR sports. The prevailing sentiment seems to be, “ how dare Sidwell excel in both areas!” [/quote]

Obviously, that’s Sidwell’s choice. I never said or thought “how dare they”. That said, I do find it surprising and a bit pathetic. [/quote]
