The early decision cycle was not great for Sidwell and several parents were aggressively rude to the college placement office. And then one parent made an anonymous phone call to a college dean of admissions to undermine a classmate competing against his DC.

No way Sidwell pays college counselors enough to deal with the crazy parents

While knowledgeable, she was very unapproachable. Patrick was great. Sorry to see him leave.

The director was a nice guy, but meh.

The other one was in way over his head. Sorry to say, but true.

College advisors leave. Plural.

One is staying. Sidwell is upgrading the staff. It's two years overdue.

He’s not leaving because of a scandal. He’s leaving because this year’s senior class parents were so abhorrent that he was fed up with the community.
They need someone in that office who can tell parents to F off and have Bryan Garman back him/her up. But we know that won’t happen. Like most local heads, he likes feeling as if he’s part of the DC power circle.

How convenient! The timing doesn't look shady at all. Just waiting for the DC admissions scandal to surface now.

If not this most recent admissions scandal, then one of dozens of other schemes involving favors for children of the wealthy and powerful.

Not really.
The reason is worthwhile. Plus the fact that a bunch of boosters claimed it was fake news awhile back.
There are some awful parents over there.

I realize that when Sidwell changes its socks that is considered news, but this is pretty silly.
