[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Obama effect probably ran its course at Sidwell Friends several years ago. As you suggest, there are benefits and burdens. The Clinton era seems, to use a phrase, a simpler time and so last century. In today's social media and frenzied 24 hour political cycle, no good could ever come (at least to the president) from his attending a private school auction."

Now if GDS could just get over it. [/quote]

Not likely.  The story is that GDS wants the new Wisconsin Ave. campus to be more amenable to high profile "protectee" students then their present Palisades property is.

No, the goal is to unite the two campuses and to use commercial development along Wisconsin Ave to provide a revenue stream that will enable the school to sustain its commitment to financial aid and to decent compensation/benefits for teachers without continually increasing tuition.

You can agree or disagree with this vision of where GDS is headed, but that's the story.  This stuff about high profile protectees is just some weird DCUM fantasy.[/quote]
