[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both are great schools academically, but have different vibes. Kids we know at GDS seem a bit more stressed overall than the kids we know at Maret. Maybe it's just the kids, maybe there's more to it.

On the board/leadership issue at Maret, our neighbor whose child attends said it really seems to be a small group of frustrated and super vocal parents and community members. Many of the teachers and families have been there a long time and don’t feel like it’s had much impact on their daily experience.

On the fields, there are still a few neighbors who may complain, but I think that's dying down and the fields clearly aren't going anywhere. We live about a block away and love that the space has been cleaned up and our kids now have access to the fields for their teams when Maret isn't there (which is honestly most of the time.)

Don't know Sidwell as well but neighbor whose child graduated in the past few years shared it was super competitive and intense and stressful and that it probably wasn't the best fit for her child. We toured for our children and were really turned off by that intensity. [b]We could feel the competition ooozing from the other parents and children on the tour.[/b] No thank you. [/quote]

You have no qualifications to be speaking about Sidwell, mutt. Do you think the non-admit families on the tour are representative of the whole school? [/quote]

The name calling, the hostility—classic Sidwell [/quote]
