[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does Sidwell justify the lack of open access to Naviance? That’s so incredibly paternalistic. I’m surprised there hasn’t been a parent revolt. [/quote]

What does a parent revolt at a school like Sidwell look like?[/quote]
I suppose it would start with a group of concerned parents working to schedule a meeting with the counseling department or school head?[/quote]

At a regularly scheduled 12th grade parent meeting--so not college placement or CCO related and the CCO people do not attend--someone asked the upper school head whether they would be collecting parent feedback about the college application process and the CCO. His reaction was priceless: it was as if the idea had never occurred to him and he was pretty clear that they were not interested in parent feedback. He did give lip service to say that "of course" parents could always provide feedback, but it was apparent that any such feedback would be unwanted.[/quote]
