Bullis Lacrosse Situation

[Anonymous]

Look at the racial makeup of Prep and Landon. Then look at Bullis. Thr black people and diversity at Bullis bothers Prep and Landon families.

SSSAS families aren't worried about Bullis because they aren't as white as Landon and Prep.

Facts.

why do you care if the kid wants to go back home for his senior year. It's so bizarre. It's not a conspiracy. He wanted to play with his friends against better competition, now he is going home to be with his family.

Becasue it's a high school and not a club lacrosse team. I am sure when JB sold the admin on giving this kid financial aid it was because their was a promise of 2 years and future benefit. Bullis got their tourney title but will get nothing else except a divided community based on sports. Same goes for their football and basketball teams giving African-Americans (not PG Kids which is just a thinly veiled reference) scholarships to play football and basketball. If a school can't field a competitive team without giving scholarships, and this goes for Landon too, they shouldn't have a team. Doing this in the name of diversity lowers the purpose of the diversity program. Let's see these schools be transparent in who they are giving aid and towards what purpose and it will be ugly.

Sounds like people from the community are actually defending a respected teacher/coach who was treated poorly. Nobody wants to see what happened at Bullis happen anywhere. There is the occasional moron who just posts that "Bullis is a cesspool". Ignore that. The rest of us are supportive.

Really, there has never been a barroom brawl?

or kids peeing in other kids helmets?

or kids being held back in the 8th grade so 25% of the seniors are 19 in the Spring.

Or racist comments being made by teams on the field.

gurl, you haven't been around very long have you.

So what how many kids on the Bullis team were redshirted back in K? You want us to believe all these kids are in grade level? Please.

You are like my toddlers who when they do something wrong and get caught try to tell me what other people have done wrong to deflect away their issues.

Transparent. Dude! It is none of your business.

It's high school. Who cares if a kid comes for a year for sports or because his parent is in the military or a diplomat.. who cares. OMG! He won't be at prom, tragic.

Not every kid goes to a HIGH SCHOOL with the intention of visiting it for the rest of their life, actually the idea that so many in this area do is what is so bizarre.

For many education is a transaction, I pay you tuition, I get an education... I get your school name mentioned in a game watched by every college scout in the nation, I get an education.

Stop acting like a rube.

Facts.

The fact is Prep has a lower percentage of diversity compared to Landon and Bullis but more diversity based on actual numbers. Based on team makeups, I would bet Prep also gives less financial aid for athletic purposes and more for true need and academic diversity.

Georgetown Prep
Student Body
Enrollment: 491, grades 9-12
Students come from 14 states and 19 countries, including Spain, Nigeria, Korea, and Venezuela
Demographics: 63% Caucasian, 11% African American, 16% Asian, 6% Latino
Financial Aid: 26% of families receive financial aid; average grant is $19,000

Bullis
Bullis’ student body is:

56% boys; 44% girls
appx 300 boys in upper school
40% students of color
6% foreign nationals
28% receive financial assistance

Landon
40% students of color
appx 280 students in upper school
average grant is over $24,000

It's my business if I'm paying the outrageous tuitions being used to fund these scholarships.

The success these schools have had at setting up their communities have led to programs like the STEM Center at Bullis and many others.

If education is a transaction, then go get your GRE and move on. These schools are trying and having success at building more than a transaction.

Go stick your head back in the sand and let the adults have a real anonymous discussion.

The last I heard is JB has been reinstated as the head lacrosse coach.

All 3 of the DCE coaches have departed ways with Bullis.

One of the main sources of teen depression and burnout is when their parents treat school like a transaction for sports...very unhealthy. We are not talking about the military family who gets transferred. We are talking about the Dads who obsess over junior's playing time and are willing to transfer multiple times (or limit opportunities in other areas of school life) in hopes of boosting exposure. They tie their self worth to junior's accomplishments, or not, on the field. Very sad and short sighted.

They paid for advertising and they got a mess. I'm pretty sure they aren't too happy with the publicity this has generated.
Nice try on the cops thing but not even a close comparison.

Despite what you think, Bullis is not giving out scholarships on anything else based on need. Many of the kids on basketball and football need financial aid. Period.

LOL at Prep and Landon dads talking about diversity. Everyone knows the kids of color at those schools are seen as tokens and nothing more.
