[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it seems to me that gds and sidwell are kind of similar in quality of education.  what is the biggest difference between the two schools?  For parents to chose sidewell, not gds, what is the main reason for you to choose sidwell? [/quote]

OP, we are conservative Christians with kids at Sidwell. There is no way my kids would ever go to GDS. Sidwell is more liberal than I would like on certain issues, but overall, I think it's more accepting of all points of view. My kids - so far - have never felt judged or shamed for their Christianity, which they are open about as opportunities present themselves.

And then there is that issue of kids -- all kids, young and older -- calling teachers by their first names at GDS, which I absolutely hate.[/quote]

Cool story bro.[/quote]

GDS parent here. Calling teachers by their first name is key to us. My kids do not call me by my last name, is that a sign of disrespect? Obviously, not at all. Calling teachers by their first name promotes IMO a much nurturing environment. [/quote]
