People have explained this already and why they believe it would be helpful to them. If you disagree, that’s fine. But can you explain why you think the school should not publish a list, or why you think publishing a list would actually be a negative or bad thing?[/quote]

It is not up to the school to provide you with a list of where current seniors are going to be matriculating or where the class of 2021 ended up etc.

So if you want to know that Larla went to Harvard and Larlo went to Chicago, that is none of your business. If you are friends with Larlo or Larla's parents, they will tell you. If your kid is friends with them, they will tell your kid. Otherwise, it just isn't your concern.

[b]Add to it, if what you want is "here is where the class of 2021 went to college" and it is just a list of schools,[/b] how does that help you or your kid? Or how is it any different than the aggregate list the school already provides?

If you perceive that your kid is like Bobby and are interested where Bobby went to school, and you find out he is at Michigan, but your kid only wants to go to a SLAC, then what difference does it make knowing where Bobby went?[/quote]

But that is pretty much standard for other schools. Why shouldn’t Sidwell provide it? How would it be a bad thing for them to provide it? Again, your assertion that you believe it wouldn’t be helpful to me or my kid is not an answer to these questions.[/quote]
