| PP, yes. Haven't heard of a fist fight in US, but some in LS and MS. |

| Of course there will be fights at any school. But an earlier poster wrote that Landon does nothing about it and that is ridiculous to say. |

| Why is that ridiculous to say? My son has been in LS and MS at Landon. I can tell you--they don't do anything about it. |

| Sidwell will always be better than Landon but that doesn't mean that Landon isn't good. |

| We know they're good at lax, but they don't stand out any more than any other school in other sports. |

| Any sport is an excellent sport at Landon. I can't understand why you would say such ugly things about Landon. |

| It's not ugly to speak the truth -- I have nothing against Landon. It's just that they only excel at lax and are fine, but not the best at football. |

| And the only kids they get into the Ivy Universities are athletic recruits and a very occasional urm. |

That's not even true. They have two Ivy recruits this year, yet have ten kids going to Ivies overall. It's nice of you to make assumptions, though. |

| That's not true. Why would you bash Landon? You are not a Landon parent. |

I don't have a Landon connection but I googled last year's Ivy admits and somewhat to my surprise, I admit, the majority did not appear to be athletes. So, just goes to show it is good to test assumptions. |
