[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a recent/current Sidwell student of a similar demographic background I had to comment on how terrible this book was. Maybe times have changed, but the racism and other tensions that serve as the backbone of the plot cannot even be said to be exaggerated — they barely exist in the first place. Sidwell parents are weird sometimes, but not that crazy, and they're not at all the "Charles H. Billington IV" WASP types she seems to think they are. I'm also surprised at the atrocious writing. Sidwell prides itself on teaching kids how to write, so it's unfortunate that our writing program has this silliness as an example piece. It overall reads like something written by AI with inputs of a few data points about Sidwell found off Reddit, made by a college student who's hoping to pass a class by inserting ridiculous strawman attacks on elite racism and pretending to be extra liberal.[/quote] This![/quote]
