		<description>Jill,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I absolutely love this series, and I&#039;m glad that people feel comfortable enough to approach you. I would like to thank the Supermom, for being attentive to her child&#039;s education, even to the point of recognizing when Sidwell became NOT a good fit and did the right thing for her son. That it&#039;s so recent (the graduation), I think it&#039;s a very interesting look at the school. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Who&#039;d a thunk yours and Jack&#039;s little series would be such a hit, and that it would get the attention of folks. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;m hope that you continue these. You&#039;re expanding our humanity, which has such a tendency to be boxed into tiny pigeonholes that no other community faces. Yes, Black folk go to Sidwell. Yes. they come from a variety of socio-economic strata. Yes. being Black is as complicated as being anyone else.</description>

		<description>When can we see these stories in the The New York Times, or on the evening news as a feature.  The whole series is well done and I enjoyed reading it very much.   Plus, I cannot think of a more timely topic.  Five stars.  Great read.</description>

		<description>Jill I&#039;ve not responded at length to any of the Sidwell threads.  What I do take from this sharing from &quot;Mystery Super Mom&quot; is the value she placed on &quot;CRITICAL THINKING.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I so appreciate her stressing this throughout her write-up.  Our public schools were all about rote learning.  It wasn&#039;t until I left high school, got married then went to college did I become adept at critical thinking.  Common sense goes a long way, but C.T. helps one to thrive in this world.  So, thank you Mystery Super Mom for reiterating it!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also, I loved how you stayed in tune with your children and treated them as individuals.  Gauging what they could handle in the way of experiences, and knowing when to assist them with moving on.   I&#039;m grateful to you for sharing your wisdom.</description>
