[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] As tuition increases, many parents see the decision to send their kids to SFS as more transactional in nature -- they're looking for a higher ROI in the form of more a prestigious college decal to slap on the back of their Audi or BMW. This translates into more pressure on kids (albeit greater indulgence of them as well) and less joy. [/quote] That is a shithole story.[/quote] Thanks for your opinion, Mr. President![/quote]
