[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will never understand why the parents of kids attending one of the nation’s most elite prep schools and paying tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege have to come to this website and seek anonymous advice about their children’s college admissions prospects.  What are you paying for?  Doesn’t Sidwell have a guidance department?  It’s just so odd. [/quote]

Agree with what the other PP answered and will add that the parent community is oddly hush hush about these things....and the school doesn't wish to hear anything (or it becomes clear they won't be changing anything)...so people are left to let it out here.

It really is sad. Unfortunate. I wish they would genuinely invest on changing the culture for the kids, improve relationship with parents, encourage more mentoring among teachers, and take a stab at improving other aspects where there is clear room for improvement. 
 Perhaps there could be some hope that some of this can slowly be desired and accomplished by the new leadership in HS.

And parents know their kid’s biggest competition is other SFS students so they don’t talk about it except to their private college consultants.  Weird, I agree. [/quote]
