[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New to this forum, but why does Sidwell seem to have a "for nerdy kids" reputation? Never heard this before?[/quote] Well, what do you mean by "nerdy"? My kids and their friends are friendly, good conversationalists and have lovely manners. Many of them are really funny. Quite a few are good athletes and/or dedicated musicians or budding artists. They are very much aware of how fortunate they are and tend to be generous and community-minded with a strong impulse to help others. They're unpretentious and love to learn -- not just for a grade or resume value, but because they're curious and thoughtful. I guess this last part makes them look nerdy to some folks; if so, let your nerd flag fly, Sidwell! [/quote] Chelsea Clinton is a well known alum. She was a bit awkward in her Sidwell days, but has grown into an impressive young woman. [/quote]
