[quote=Anonymous]re: Sidwell placement. I our year,  about 11 Beauvoir families applied and, I think Sidwell had 11 spots open for 4th grade +/- there own counsel out , un-signed new contracts, etc..

Of the 11 spots Sidwell had, 5 were offered to Beauvoir 3rd graders. Only one of those 5 admits was a sibling.

Your question about steering parents to or from a given school, there is no " bad vibe" if you do not want a Cathedral school and has not been true for about 15 years.

That being said, thre is an outplacement director for a reason and that reason is to 1) deliver and 2) to manage parental expectations ( can we agree at times Washington parents need this)

Frankly, I think the man is not paid enough and he should one day write a book , but suffice it to say that he has to be very gentle and carefully guide a few people such as those who want Sidwell or STA, but DC is all 6's on his ERB with WISC of 110 and the beginnings of some signs of self esteem issues due to tutoring and to get performance up to parental expectations.

98% of parents would not subject their child to a school that is too hard and too demanding of them, but yes a few do need to be given a lovely option B and guided until they realize this was good advice 3-4 years later.[/quote]
