[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s fascinating how Sidwell dominates so many conversations about schools in the DC Metro (both on DCUM and IRL). For example, this thread is supposed to be about SJC’s reputation, but even the OP can’t resist name checking Sidwell in the first post. That rarely happens in the reverse (unless the discussion is about sports). Sidwell must love the consistent free publicity. As Oscar Wilde once said, “There’s only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.”[/quote] Well the OP also mentioned STA/NCS, GDS but you don't see parents from these schools make an a$$ out of themselves and try to "correct" what don't need to be corrected. Sidwell parents are so insecure. [/quote] No, that’s not it. Someone (or a handful) of BIM boosters often post on other schools’ threads about its recent Niche ranking. In response, parents routinely call it a joke ranking and say BIM is an undesirable school. There’s a very different energy when Sidwell parents post almost anything positive about their school. I’m not trying to argue this point. I’m not a Sidwell parent, but I see the difference. It’s ok if you don’t agree. [/quote]
