The Beauvoir reference is completely misleading here. The only legitimate criticism of Beauvoir is that, rather than hold the teacher for the police to pick up him, Beauvoir immediately kicked him off campus and called the police. Supposedly, B waited maybe 30 minutes to call the police, though I am not sure how one would know that. B obviously did not know anything about the teacher at issue. Maybe, B's background checks should have been stronger, but my understanding is that pedophiles are very good at getting around these roadblocks. There was absolutely no cover up. B kicked him off campus, called the police and notified the parents, all immediately. Yes, we were there at the time. I, of course, have no comment on the Sidwell gossip, as I do not know the facts.


Toth was hired because influential parents pushed for it. THAT was the problem: inappropriate influence. Toth did not have a criminal record until after B called teh police an dthey did an investigation. B , or soem of its parents , might also have a lot to do with Toth getting on FBI top 10 most wanted list . THAT doesn't just happen....

Yikes this is a really nasty thread. Op I don't think it is cool to call out someone's daughter in an online post. I am not even a Sidwell parent.

Pp, i disagree to the part about parents. Especially in light of this kind of incident, parents need to be more plugged in to what's going on at school. Hands-off only at the peril of the kids, no matter which school they go to.


I think everyone at Sidwell should keep their hands off everyone else. No parent teacher intimate relationships. They are too risky.

Yeah. And a “facial” is a procedure involving a variety of skin treatments, but (just guessing here) I don’t think the Sidwell mom involved in the Newmyer case will be talking about the facials she received anytime soon. Double entendres are too easy.
Give it up, 10:43. The poster's agenda is too obvious, and a trial to get to the bottom of this means nothing to her. There is much more to this poster's agenda than meets the eye.

In the current circumstances, the first thing a good PR team might tell SIDWELL to do is to lighten up on the emphasis on “hands on” in describing the Sidwell experience. I swear that I’m not making up these examples from the SIDWELL website:


CAMP: morning will consist of hands-on work with the youngest campers

Sidwell Summer trips: promote learning outside of the traditional classroom through hands-on experiences

6th-8th grade camp: Each of these teachers is also a parent that recognizes the importance of hands-on, active learning for the summer months

SCIENCE: Children build models, play games and gain understanding through "hands on" work

Good grief.
you are nuts and paranoid. Move on!!!

Has molestation been a problem in the summer camp as well?
