[quote=Anonymous]I love that so many people have opinions about GDS's mission or its "game" when they have no connection to the school. The lovely thing about private schools is that you only have to send your child there if you think it has something to offer. If another school fits your child better, send him/her there instead. But, the "market" seems to tell us that GDS is pretty attractive to some subset of families since only a small proportion of applicants get accepted and the yield of applicants who enroll is pretty high. Some people seem to be annoyed by GDS because it has a "progressive" educational philosophy and students call their teachers by first names. Others think it is remarkable that there are more non-Christians than at the Cathedral schools and Sidwell. I bet that GDS families are as happy that those families don't attend the school as those families are about not having to go there. [/quote]
