[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did your DD avoid taking physics?  Usually everybody in private required to take it at some point. [/quote]

LOL not true at all.

Not all privates are close to equal.

Religious ones are some of the least educated centers.[/quote]
Yeah, Sidwell and the Cathedral schools are just uneducated cesspools, amiright?[/quote]

Since when does anyone consider NCS/STA and Sidwell religious? I think the poster was referring to Catholics. And no they aren’t great comparatively [/quote]
I don’t know about Sidwell, but NCS and STA have required cathedral and chapel services every week and religion classes are required. They are very much rooted in their Episcopal identity. [/quote]

And Sidwell has meeting for worship weekly and starts all meetings with silence. And they certainly use Quaker values as their excuse often to say no or the Quaker process as an excuse to slow change/things down on a huge range of topics. Sure, it’s not like the conversation/recruitment agendas sometimes seen among evangelical, Christian colonialism, or Latter Day Saints (just as an incomplete list of examples) - so maybe it feels less religious to some? But Sidwell is still using religion to make relevant school policy decisions. Honestly anything that made no sense to us used Quaker as the reason - yet Quaker applied to scenario A if they didn’t want to do it but not to exact same scenario B if they didn’t want to do it.
