[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Decades ago the super rich to which these schools cater were fewer in numbers and less wealthy.

The other running theme in this thread is that Sidwell has changed, and not for the better. We may have to "get over it" as some will say, but it is narrowing the space between Sidwell and other local schools.

The "joy problem" to which Bryan Garman has referred is that he sees SFS as a less joyful place to be compared to when he was there as a teacher. [/quote]

The Sidwell Head of School (a) throws money at problems; (b) does not show any worry about the budget and models this approach to others in the admin; and (c) is fairly obsessed with a bricks and mortar legacy.  (This is not multiple choice -- all of the above are true.)  He smiles and says "yes" to everything and has no interest whatsoever in making hard choices.  The school shows no hiring discipline and has added FTEs willy-nilly.  He will be out of Sidwell in about 3-5 years for a high salaried boarding school job.    [/quote]
