[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this point in the school year most upper school girls (and their parents) know which girls and families are regularly disregarding the community covenant. Shutting the upper school down for 2 weeks was like the nail in the coffin for the families who have been adhering to the guidelines all along.  Since many of the offenders are children of trustees, medical board, alumni, big donors, etc., there is a clear sense of favoritism going on from the admin in terms of there being consequences to violating behavior.  The admin's focus on finishing out a major capital project (the new student center) in the midst of all of this is likely contributing to the lack of enforcement. To most, it seems there are certain families the admin has made clear they want to keep happy. it's a shame it's that way.  The upper school curriculum is rigorous and the faculty is terrific.  These girls get a great education, but the "clubby" vibe that comes from the admin really takes away from so much that is promising about the school.      [/quote]

The vast majority of students HAVE been adhering to the community guidelines, and that's why this is so infuriating. I agree with what you say about the faculty and the education. I have always felt that this happens IN SPITE of the administration, certainly not because of it.[/quote]
