[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hughely was a troubled kid with a dysfunctional father. Both had severe substance abuse issues. This I know for a fact. His problems were extremely deep.

You can "guess" all you want about the Sidwell kids, but you are just guessing. The behavior was atrocious and should be handled appropriately. My point is that to label a whole institution including admin, teachers, parents and the student body is absurd, particularly for such a great institution. Whatever bias people have against Sidwell comes out when they pile on with no knowledge of the facts. These students are still learning their way in the world and, while their acts should be condemned, it still doesn't make them horrible people. [/quote]

This is not bias against Sidwell, this is dissapointment. There is a valuable differnce between the two in that one only have holds accountable those one has high expectations of. Were the  Sidwell  of today more true to its Quaker traditions and less incumbered in their efforts to instill them in the student body ( re: free of the pressure of interfering parents$$$$) there is no way that this would have happened. It is not an isolated incident ; it is the tip of the iceberg. [/quote]
