[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all ridiculous.  This has been brewing for years.  I have had a child at this school for years and this graduating class is famous for being a large outlier.

Please don't forget - this is Sasha Obama's class and a grandchild of Joe Biden.  Do you think for a moment that the parents applying their children into this class didn't know that?  They had delusions of grandeur of hobnobbing with the Obamas/Bidens.  These parents had little care for a Quaker education/values.  Rather, it is full of climbers and movers and shakers. There are lots of hyper aggressive Finance and Journalist types who stop at nothing to get what they want.

Sorry to tell you, with little exception, Sidwell parents are normal and boring.  They love Quaker values and wouldnt think of doing this.

The allure of being close to a popular (now ex) President, attracted a certain type.  Once this class and its parents graduate, youll see a lot of normal boring move along scenes. [/quote]

also, this is a Capital Campaign class as well which means the class was filled initially as Sidwell was trying to raise lots of $$$. This also sets up expectations among some parents. The non-Capital Campaign classes have a much different vibe, much more low key.[/quote]
