[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We can't conflate fame with prestige or rigor or social status. I don't think anyone arguing that it's any school other than Sidwell is saying that the non-Sidwell school is the most prestigious or rigorous. They're responding to the original question which was, which school is considered the most famous at a national level. There's solid evidence and data to support the claims that it may not be Sidwell.

But even if it is, why do people feel the need to trash other schools and get so defensive? It's a dumb question to begin with. It's one thing to have a friendly debate over these things, it's another to demean other institutions that serve their students well because you disagree with another poster.

Honestly, at the end of the day, who really cares?[/quote]

Well said,  it's one thing for the Sidwell parents to attack STA.  Pretty ridiculous,  but who cares.

But all of the attacks by Sidwell parents in Dematha is just mean.

Stop being so insecure![/quote]

Don’t forget elitist and racist, too. That’s why I’ve been one of the posters speaking up for Dematha. I have literally no dog in the fight—I have a girl—but I don’t like the things people have been saying about Dematha and trying to dim its light. It’s a great school, extremely well known and a great choice for lots of kids. [/quote]
