[quote=Anonymous]My kids go to Sidwell, and, yes, there certainly are people who send their kids to Sidwell at least partly because they hope -- or fantasize might be more appropriate -- that their kids will become friends with the Obamas. Obviously, most people don't fall into this camp -- or at least recognize the humor in this fantasy -- but, yes, absolutely there are parents like that at Sidwell. It's simply an extension of the idea that if you send your kids to Sidwell, or any other marquee-name school, they -- and you -- will make contacts that will lead them down the yellow-brick road to fame and success. Personally, this kind of social-climbing makes me gag, but Sidwell is hardly the only institution that harbors folks who think along these lines. [/quote]
