[quote=Anonymous]The following comes directly from the Sidwell College Counseling page, and is their statement of philosophy: A key element in a student-centered approach to the college process is the clear expectation that the student will take control. We strive to enable students to develop a fuller sense of autonomy and responsibility. As such, our job is to guide, counsel, probe, refer, suggest and inform. The student is the one ultimately responsible for the key decisions in driving this process forward. Students must also be responsible for signing up for the appropriate standardized tests and meeting application deadlines. This is indeed the Sidwell approach to almost everything in US. I do not consider it anti-parent. I consider it pro-student. It can be tough for kids who do not self advocate well, but for those who naturally are self confident and/ or learn to self advocate well, it is empowering. It serves them well later in life.[/quote]
