[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a Sidwell parent, but I understand that after 13 years of paying half a million dollars of tuition, parents expect more than settling for a college with greater than 50% acceptance rate. If you ask parents to adjust their expectations, you are basically telling them the money invested has been wasted. Why? Because they could have gone to a 50% acceptance rate college from a public school for free and save the tuition money for college.

+2 This is an anonymous forum, so I will be honest. I know I will get flamed, but here it is. Big3 parent. I can get excited about Wisconsin or Tulane, but sending my 34 ACT to Delaware or Elon is hard to take. Especially after spending $500k in private school.[/quote]

Oh lord that HURTS. I would be utterly despondent if that happened to us- we are top 8 private in DC. By the grace of God, we have good options. If we didn’t, however, I could not blame the school. Still it seems like a group of disgruntled Sidwell parents need to place the blame (assuming there is any) where it belongs: on their dcs. You expect whispers of victimization from URM, not wealthy whites. On behalf of the culture, please stop blaming other people for things that you/DC could have prevented or (more likely) were simply unpreventable. [/quote]
