[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that Farquar left Bullis for supposedly hurting its athletic program with a heavy focus on academics and is now being accused of doing the opposite at Sidwell: compromising academics in order to beef up its sports.[/quote]

Private school parents bitch about everything, and the Sidwell crowd is the worst -- whiny, intrusive, and entitled.  Half of them say athletics are too emphasized, the other half want more emphasis.  [b]The Sidwell faculty as a group hates athletics[/b], so no sea change will occur, have no fear. These DC school heads earn every last penny.

And Farquhar left Bullis because he was offered the Sidwell job -- the Board held him to another full year after he was offered the Sidwell job.  [/quote]

Wrong.  I've seen many, many faculty members at games, meets and matches cheering on the kids.  There are also several teachers who coach and many others who played high school and college sports themselves.

And, Tom, if that's you posting, you need to stop whining and act like a leader.[/quote]
