[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]

No Naviance access: classic Sidwell abuse. Sidwell senior parent here. Been the same thing for years. No parent will dare complain. Myself included.[/quote]

Not a Sidwell parent here, and Imma not gonna lie some of you do come across as both tone-deaf and entitled.  But speaking as a parent who has now gone through two college admission cycles for two very different kids (one of whom went through DCPS -- and no, my kid was not less equipped for their Ivy than your Sidwell student -- and one of whom is finishing up at a different and smaller private high school in DC and just getting results back now), I can't overstate how helpful Naviance ways in trying to build a list of options.  The idea that I wouldn't have been able to look at it except in scheduled meetings with counselors seems nutty to me.

I guess I'm glad we couldn't afford Sidwell.[/quote]
