[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College admissions have been unpredictable and sometimes shocking. But Sidwell students have been well prepared to succeed wherever they go. College isn't the end goal. It's just another step. They will all be fine.

This may all be true, but it’s also a distraction in the context of this discussion. This is the kind of nonsense that Mamadou and the school trots out, consistent with its arrogant and dismissive tone towards parents. It is a very convenient way to deflect any scrutiny of the school.

“Shocking” results are not OK just because the kids are well prepared. Saying that they will all be fine in this context suggests that college placement doesn’t matter.[/quote]

It matters but not to the extent of the drama on dcum.  Shocking, bloodbath, carnage....come on.  That is overly dramatic nonsense.  There are way too many applicants for way too few spots.  The math is the math regardless if you learned the math at a fancy private school or anywhere else.[/quote]
