[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent at Sheridan who is somewhat close to the admission process (through volunteering at events), I can tell you all that the school doesn’t have enrollment issues. In fact, the school got more applications this year than previous years. [/quote]

you are all so desperate to be among the actual elites that you lie to folks on this anonymous website.  Sheridan is a school for special needs kids (and others alike!) but it is in no way akin to the independent schools that NW DC has to offer.  You have to admit that to yourselves, at least.  [/quote]

Word of advice- I went to the elitist of the elite schools. I do not send my kids to the DC equivalent. Between 6th and 12th grade, a third of the class had issues with eating disorders, drug and alcohol abuse and risky sexual behavior. Pressure cooker schools harm kids. The level of competition and expectation reduces kids to a resume and grades and encourages them to excel along a very narrowly defined path. That narrowly defined path increasingly doesn’t lead to professional happiness or success. This path doesn’t even necessarily lead to better academics or learning.

It is totally your prerogative to look down on certain schools just like others look down on your elite school and you for sacrificing your child for a car decal and something to brag about to others who truly don’t care. [/quote]
