[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, blaming middle school girls for harming their community based on their clothing is really something else. As a SSSAS parent, I’m horrified.[/quote]
DP, but I assume it’s a general detention requirement that you write a letter addressing your infraction, which is fine for many behaviors that result in detention, but when applied to dress code violations becomes ridiculous, and should definitely be rethought. [/quote]

Ideally it would have been rethought well before they did this to many girls.

I have given up on the school. The lack of leadership on this issue is astonishing. I happen to know parents who did recently bring this issue to Kirsten Adams and she said she didn’t care and she didn’t think any of the things discussed here were a problem, or were harmful to girls. C’est la vie. We are making a change asap. [/quote]

Many have tried over the years to bring these things to the admin  and they just don't care. [/quote]

wtf?

Seriously this admin takes their families for granted. [/quote]

+1. This is the problem. As the only true game in town for Alexandria, they have a captive audience and can get away with garbage like this and they know families will stick around anyway. It's absurd. We left anyway and don't regret it at all. [/quote]

We were really hoping to stay through high school but to be honest, I feel like the school is shifting to the right politically (or maybe is more conservative in the upper grades?) and it’s not what we are interested in. I also feel like the lower school seemed like an Episcopal school (chapel and religion but more about faith and meaning in general) and now I’m hearing the head of the upper school talking so much more just about Christianity. And while we are Christian, I really liked that my kid learned about other faiths in the younger grades and now it feels like it’s a “Christian” school rather than an “Episcopal” school (which I feel like typically try to educate kids of all religions).[/quote]
