[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. It's not an issue because not a single poster can point to a single specific or even general problem. But you know, knock yourself out. Next item will be....(1) NRWBSPID..[/quote]

Obviously parents are not going to post on this site if they have had a troubling or heart breaking issue. There are not that many AA teenage boys at Sidwell ands a detailed post would out the family. I can tell you what: I  have heard the same comments from parents who had AA children at Sidwell 15 years ago, 10 years ago and right now. All basically said the same thing: AA teenage boys get disciplined beyond what their parents thought was fair and there is tension over dating across racial lines. [/quote]

Why is it always ....i have heard the same same from ``parents.''  Unless you are a parent at the school, that's just a rumor. The idea that dating across racial lines is a problem seems absurd on its face.  Sounds like someone from an older generation is trying to create racial tension where there is none. [/quote]

Women are waiting until their 40s to have their first child. By the time DC turns 16, their parents are considered senior citizens. These parents ARE from an old generation.[/quote]

I'd say more like mid-late 30's to have a baby ( not 40's). So, if you are an 18 year old a Sidwell, there is good chance that your mom is between 53 and 58 years old ( born in 1959- 1964 era)[/quote]
