[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote][quote]I was fortunate enough to be a "day student" at Phillips Andover. And, trust me, Sidwell is nothing by comparison. All of the DC private schools pale in comparison to the MA and NY boarding/day school circuit. Sidwell is the only school that can play with those big leaguers.[/quote]

Since when does someone expressing a preference of one school over another deserve this type of a small league response?  Is this poster so weak of heart and mind, insecure and defensive for responding is this fashion?  Buck-up lady.  Wash your gullet with hydrogen peroxide.[/quote]
Your bush league comments deserve no more.  Grow up, son.[/quote]

Just look at the college admissions stats for Exeter/Andover, etc. and compare them with Sidwell. And look at the facilities and course offerings that those schools have compared to Sidwell (the NE schools have multiple gyms, pools, ice rinks, fields upon fields, college-level laboratories, entire buildings devoted just to music, tons of art studios and their own galleries on site, boat houses for rowing, etc.). PP isn't being a "jackass" but is just stating fact.  There are not really any private schools in the DC area that can compare or compete with that, even due to space constraints. That's not to say that one cannot get a good education at the DC day schools. But it's like comparing apples and oranges. I personally would never send my kid to live away at age 14. The PP who was a day student was lucky to have the best of both worlds.[/quote]
