[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell. No question. GDS is a mess [/quote]

Op's kid doesn't like academics, and you say sidwell, no question? Have you been to sidwell? Or even gds for that matter? The most rigorous schools in the city are pretty widely known to be sidwell and the cathedral schools, with gds not too far behind. Maret is known for being a little more relaxed with room for kids who don't want to be in the pressure cooker. If GDS is a mess, then the answer seems to be "maret. No question" for OP's kid. I do wonder, as pp did, how a kid who isn't into academics gets in to sidwell and gds--they want smart kids, but they also want motivated kids. So maybe the kid is more into academics than op says. but if not, then sidwell, no question, seems way off.[/quote]

sorry missed the part where op says they are made of money. Ok, so that might explain how a kid who isn't into academics gets into all of these schools. That's fine, that's life, not knocking it. Sidwell, no question even more off base now. you're made of money, kid isn't that into academics, let them go to a place where the range of pressure is broader. all of these schools are prestigious, but your kid doesn't need to be splitting prestige hairs--they're set. Send them where they'll be happiest. Sounds like maret to me, but if not, send them where they say they want to go. it doesn't matter.[/quote]
