[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have an answer, but my impression was that there were closet republicans at Sidwell but the gds families were all true believer progressives.  [/quote]

You would have to be a closeted Republican at Sidwell. I don’t know why those families wouldn’t just send their children to STA/NCS. I’m sure they would be much more comfortable at the Cathedral schools. [/quote]

So diversity in sexuality and skin color and economic income but not viewpoint.   That seems right on mission. [/quote]

Delete income and you are closer to the mark. Visible, viewbook diversity. But parents like it that way.

The purpose of financial aid is to have economic diversity.  And Sidwell LOVES to trot out its financial aid.  I get that that frequently goes hand in hand with racial diversity but not always.

Sigh, I was hoping that Sidwell had a more balanced parent population than it actually has.   Oh well. It’s sad to me that only the Cathedral schools seem to in fact have a balance of all those things.  It’s something I value for my own child.  DC can be so insular and the wide world has loads of other viewpoints that I wish to be included in my child’s education.   But, as usual, like posters on here: it’s they are the bad guy and I’m so happy I don’t have to be around them.  It’s a dysfunction with long term effects.  For all it’s lip service to academic ideas, simply shunning people who don’t share your own is a huge negative to me for GDS and Sidwell. [/quote]
