[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please PP....you can't be a GDS parent because that shows a lack of respect for all the parents that don't opt out of Wilson.. And all the GDS families I know have a great deal of respect for choices people make.[/quote]

Not a GDS parent. Just tying to figure out its value proposition when it will be juxtaposed with a truly integrated and diverse high achieving high school. At least Sidwell has the whole children of famous people thing and the cathedral schools have the whole its graduates become famous leaders, statesmen,  and astronauts thing.  Some exaggeration perhaps but GDS will need to step up its game. [/quote]

What does it need to step up?[/quote]

GDS should stick to its original mission of serving those excluded from other schools rather than trying to be a "me too" exclusive school. They can't be a better Sidwell than Sidwell.  Look to Maret for an example of a school that is comfortable in its own skin.  [/quote]

The school bought land to expand a small campus in the hopes of having their lower/middle school join the high school campus. How does this translate to them wanting to be like Sidwell. They have always stayed with their mission and are not in my eyes trying to be another school. It sounds like some people are worried about that for some reason. GDS IS comfortable in their own skin.
