[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell – I learned (the hard way) that Sidwell is a school that students attend because their parents want them there for a variety of reasons (some valid, some selfish) – Sidwell is not a school where the children want to be. It is tragic to see a child’s youth sacrificed on the altar of parental ambition. Most of those kids are not happy.[/quote] Graduate here. I would agree with this. Many of the kids I knew were mindlessly driven forward by their parents expectations. Out of my class of 90, 7 or so cracked to pieces within a year or so of graduating. As adults the # grows each year. You could say the school self-selects the emotionally fragile, but either way, it is a school that wraps itself in the shield of passivity (pacifism, self sacrifice) yet, demands that its student kneel at an altar of cultural elitism. It was a confusing, ego smashing sort of place to spend ones adolescence.[/quote]
