[quote=Anonymous]"(maybe it's the sign of the times? Think Kim Kardashian w/ a brain). " How does this behavior manifest itself? Is this more in the lower school or in the middle/upper schools as well? I can imagine how the types of families is evident at a lower school, where I imagine there is a greater interaction of families on campus, volunteering in the classroom, etc, but are families such a presence at the older grades? I would think that as kids get older, the parents recede into the background. Is that the case at Sidwell? How are students subject to the crass materialism you described? Is it just the way the students behave as a result of growing up in those kind of families? It seems like such a shame, given the stated mission of the school. Is there really a serious mismatch between the Sidwell described on the website, which sounds so idyllic, and the reality of the school? [/quote]
