[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, sadly I think this is a money/class issue not a racism issue. Sidwell has changed from the once down-to-earth school it once was... especially in terms of the families it accepts. While there are still many lovely down-to-earth families in the school community, there are now many keeping up w/ the joneses families who provide the money which has driven their last ten years to building buildings (some say at the expense of building character) ... on an unprecedented level. Not the school I grew up knowing. And, sadly with that comes a lot of social climbing and it could be easy to feel like an outsider if your not in the big money/establishment sector. That said, still great academics & great teachers & there are still many families who would never base friendships on prestige or color... but in the old days there were few families that did... but that has changed. (maybe it's the sign of the times? Think Kim Kardashian w/ a brain).[/quote]
