[quote=Anonymous]This is knowledge of the middle but not upper school--English and history are MUCH stronger at StA. I agree that Sidwell teachers have too much autonomy, so much so that my daughter read about 2 class books in English in 6th grade, with the rest of the time on projects. Not super impressed for 7th either--writing instruction is vague and not a lot of feedback given. Then, per my friends with kids in older grades, these smart but unskilled kids are arriving at HS unprepared to write a paper or read closely. Very disappointed so far in comparison to what I see from the StA kid in our circle but I have a girl, so what can you do?[/quote]
