[quote=Anonymous]observations from a former parent, since I agree emotions run high around this place.

1. what you see is what you get--strict, decent academics, wide range of smarts among both students and faculty, hidebound (both good and bad).  Don't make first impressions and second guess them..you're probably correct.

2. Social--if you think distinct mothers and fathers clubs are, in 2012, bizarre--then stay away.  If you believe a bit of that tradition is charming if not realistic and useful, then come on in.  But helpful if you belong to a country club too, as lots of boys do and that's where they spend much of their off time.

3. Diversity--if for you that means aa boys from DC and PG, you're right.  If you think definition has been, by now, expanded well beyond that..keep looking.  (no flames here..you bears know i'm right)

all in all, a positive experience for ds.  no coddling here, learned to handle himself in many situations including an adult world, played a lot of sports, rounded himself out, made good friends.  it worked until it didn't..and he left.  no more, no less.[/quote]
