[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell parent here who just read that article. I think the anonymous parent who was quoted got it right—it’s shocking and doesn’t represent our community, but it’s a sign of the times. People need to get a grip and a conscience and some perspective. Glad that family is leaving. [/quote]

If this bad parent conduct occurred, then it should condemned.  But the article wasn't exactly the sort of journalism on which the Post build it's reputation.  It started off by quoting from the director's holiday note to parents (which read in part like an eggnog-fueled screed).  Then it quoted an anonymous parent who confirmed that s/he heard a "rumor" about some other parents behaving badly.  Then it pivoted to quoting various people (not from the Sidwell Friends community) on the record who discussed what they have observed or theorize in various other schools and contexts, not specifically Sidwell Friends.  As reporting, it's pretty thin gruel.  Does the Post still employ editors?[/quote]
