Suggestion: all of you: get a job. Or a hobby. This absurd back and forth is not worthy of you. I suddenly feel like I'm back in highschool. Get a life.

The Beauvoir parents ignored warning signs just as Sidwell parents.

+1 This is why people really attracted to Quaker values don't go there. I hear Sandy Springs is more true to Quaker roots.


Umm. The case doesn't involve either of these things. According to the complaint I am pretty sure they were divorced at the time of the relationship. Big deal. All the pr in the world won't change that. Poor kid.

So, does all this bashing of Sidwell parents now apply equally (or more) to the Cathedral school parents?

Sidwell understands the priorities of its stakeholders. Keeping things hush hush is more important than protecting the 8th graders from predators.

I agree.
So disgusting.


My impression is that Sidwell parents are, on average, older than parents at other schools. There are some second marriage couples to be sure, but I think there are a lot of parents who put off children to the last possible moment. Maybe to focus on career? Does that explain the focus on external perception?
What bullshit!

A longtime 8th grade teacher at Sidwell Friends School admitting to fondling a 15-year-old Sidwell boy.
Sidwell’s staff psychologist doing an “in home” evaluation of a pre-K girl and bedding the mom shortly thereafter –as the little girl was in adjacent room.
8th grade Sidwell girls talking about male P.E. teachers that try to hit on them.
A bullying incident at Sidwell involving Bob Woodward’s daughter and a deliberate disclosure of confidential details provided by the young girl.


So did they keep this under wraps until after admissions process was wrapped up? How convenient.


The issue was rekindled with a Washingtonian article last week

OP did not state anything that was not already in the news ands therefore public knowledge. It is unfortunate that a child was identified in the public documents, but OP did not "call out someone's daughter."
