[quote=Anonymous]Dear 6:56 - Did those words really just come out of your mouth?  You are an absolute idiot. I read the letter, as did everyone else, I am sure. The issue is that a supposed top school that charges over $40k per child hired someone with a questionable past to look after and educate their children. Would you pay top dollar to have a pedophile be in charge of your children all day? Who cares if the administrative person who hired this guy no longer works at Sidwell? The problem is that this guy was hired in the first place.  They knew of his questionable past and still hired him!  Not to mention the fact that decisions to hire teachers are not made by one person, I am sure there is a review board or a small group who makes these decisions.  Regardless of how it happened, this person was hired and decisions such as these do not happen in a bubble. This was not that long ago, we had the the internet and phones - a little research may have helped.  Although they admit to knowing about his past, so I guess they didn't care, which just makes this that much more egregious.  Who cares if one administrator who was involved in the hire is no longer at Sidwell.  The question should be, how many other poor hire choices were made?  How many other poor choices in general have been made?  If a school is going to charge $40k for each student and encourage the daughters of Presidents to attend their schools then you think they would be more responsible, thoughtful, and intelligent about the decisions they make. Instead, it is embarrassing, shameful, and inexcusable! [/quote]
