[quote=Anonymous]Meh, most places will say they’re progressive. IMO as a teacher that is sometimes a marker of not very strong teachers doing what they want and thinking it’s great because the kids enjoy their classes. Cf Lowell—I was shocked by how weak the middle school curriculum was. For the original question, yes, some schools have and support quirky-identified kids better than others. I don’t know which ones are actually good for that (lots of nice quirk at Lowell, to be fair), but Sidwell is not it. I was really duped by the Quaker values business at the Lower School (we applied our kid just before the pandemic and didn’t get to see the MS and US!), but it feels like a real sports-ocracy. I know many middle schools have kids looking to fit in, but I am hard pressed to spot many kids who are comfortable standing out. [/quote]
