[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My kid for one is stressed and working his %&%&* OFF. [/b]Sidwell promotes this. They know exactly how much homework is given and what the expectations are. What is the purpose? My kid went from a mostly a student to a stressed out B student and will probably go to a university with less anxiety-inducing stress than Sidwell. I would have preferred a lighter HS experience.[/quote] I think if your kid is working his a$$ off, is stressed out and getting B's then quite probably Sidwell is not the school for him. This is not meant to be mean as there are MANY kids who are in your son's position. The kids who are a perfect fit for Sidwell are those who get As and really enjoy (or don't even notice) the workload--they are either very efficient or love academic work (of a combination of both). I have one of them. It would not be a good fit for my other two kids. [/quote]
