[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, if you want to know where a kid went to school, as if it is your business, you should ask them. It is not up to the school to disclose that information.

You are just being nosy. [b]It doesn't impact how your kid will be going about their selection and application process.[/b][/quote]

As posters have explained, a list that identifies college destinations for graduates, without identifying the students by name, would be helpful to them. There is a big difference between that type of list and an aggregate list that says 5 students or more have attended Brown over the past five years, and that doesn’t distinguish between 5 and 15.

Again, it’s not up to you to assert that providing such a list wouldn’t be helpful [b]to them[/b]. They have explained why they think it would be helpful, and you just disagree with their explanations. On the other hand, you have not provided any explanation as to why you think Sidwell shouldn’t provide such a list, or why it would be a bad thing for them to do so. Can you explain?[/quote]

So the assertion is that a list of schools with a number next to it in brackets indicated the number from the grade, if more than one, is helpful? Please explain how.

Here is a helping hand

Ok, so please educate me as to how this list helps inform anything for your child.[/quote]

A list like this would actually tell me a lot and provide my student with a lot of helpful contextual information. But all the explaining in this discussion appears to be one way. So please educate me as to why Sidwell should not provide such a list and why it would be a bad thing for them to do so.[/quote]

You haven’t explained how this list helps.  What contextual info are you talking about?[/quote]
