[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Court documents just released  in California regarding the admission scandal associated with Singer scandal indicate that the former Director of College Counseling at Sidwell, Gallagher, was one of the original whistle blowers three years ago. He went to the authorities when he came across a pattern of unethical behavior  by an “independent counselor”  who was working with  a few entitled Sidwell parents. He kept quiet and only worked with authorities. Sidwell offered him a payment to be silent  but he refused  it and would not take money.  No wonder he left when he had the chance. Some people can’t be bought. [/quote]

Wow, the PPs are all worried about their school.  I want to say kudos and bravo to Mr. Gallagher for having the courage of his convictions, and by living the value system that we want to see in our children.  There is a lesson here, folks, and it isn't in rounding the wagons now because you want to protect the "integrity" or "good name" of your school.  [/quote]

So where are these court documents Mr. Gallagher?

I am not Mr. Gallagher.  I am a mom who posted much earlier on a thread (maybe this thread?) about this topic.  My husband and I knew of Singer and the connection with local school parents a few years prior to the scandal breaking this past fall.  I can guarantee you that if [i]we[/i] knew about it, and we have no affiliation with your school, then school officials [i]must have [/i]known about it.  We stayed way far away because we heard the rumors from family and friends in LA about what a sleazeball Singer is.  Of course, it isn't rocket science since you only have to be in his near proximity to catch that vibe anyway.

In any event, I think that your (and others) hysterics are misplaced.  Rather than hashing it out here, why aren't you in at the school asking the hard questions???  Good luck.  You're gonna need it.[/quote]
