[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a lot of us, the fact that Sidwell doesn't bow down to the mighty athlete, and doesn't seem to have much of a jock culture is one of the big reasons we chose it. It's not really a bad thing for schools to focus on actual learning.[/quote] I'm also a Sidwell parent, and I have a slightly different view. While Sidwell doesn't have a "jock culture", it does have a very active and vital athletics program with many kids participating in a variety of sports at different levels. For our kids, who are both athletic and intellectually curious students with a passion to learn, that's been a great thing about the school. They have learned as much on the playing fields and through having leadership positions on sports teams, as they have in the classroom. [/quote]
