[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have been cancelling meets and games for MS but then they send their US girls' bball team out to Minnesota? When did they become Spire Academy? What happened to equity? I hate that they are all Quaker until the NBA or ESPN comes calling. So hypocritical. And yes, I WENT TO SIDWELL.[/quote]

and the girls team practiced over the holidays even htough other teams could not

i am an alum and a parent, deeply disturbed by how the school is now trying to become an athletics powerhouse. Donors $$s and college admissions seem to be the motivation. Meanwhile there are no full time art teachers and kids have to choose either CS or Art because the schedules conflict and both are both basically afterthoughts. The school has really lost its way, very sad to see. I mean WTF ramping up the football program and hiring a big name coach. [/quote]

They have to choose between CS and Art because of the requirements and the way the schedules work. It has nothing to do with money.

And to the art teachers, most of them are professional, full time artists who want the flexibility and stability to practice what they teach, while also teaching.[/quote]

Is that why the beloved head of the CS program is leaving?
