[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you may think all you want about how frivolous the suit is but Sidwell didn’t behave  properly towards the girl. [/quote]

This whole thing is dumb. If you sue your school over grades, you are probably a crazy person. If you think you can appeal such a ridiculous case to the Supreme Court, you are probably a really crazy person. And you should expect the school to retaliate or at least not support your admission anywhere. If I was Sidwell, I would tell every school not to take someone like this. You can't burn bridges with people and then ask them to help you. [/quote]

However, it is the family's right to take legal action. Following the due process does not make you crazy. Retaliation preceded the lawsuit.[/quote]

Suing over the grades someone got in high school -- especially in math (because we all know how subjective math grades can be, right?) -- seems utterly and completely ridiculous. And I'm sure this lawsuit did not come out of the blue. I'm sure the family and the school had been fighting over this for years before they went to court. They can fight Sidwell tooth and nail over some stupid math score but then they shouldnt expect the school to do them any favors. If I was at Sidwell, I would write a "recommendation" that made clear the college should not take the student. [/quote]
