[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The DC moms on this board pounce on any whiff of scandal and the threads soon evolve into back and forth between the school bashers and defenders.  The school bashers are always “outraged” or “curious” or “surprised” or “disappointed” if not “shocked” that [insert topic de jour] occurred. The school defenders are always quick to minimize the scandal and deflect the topic and attack any accuser. [b] If all else fails you can always take a shot at your favorite DC suburban private boys school: Landon, Bullis, Prep; which ALL DC moms despise.[/b]
 
As a longtime observer of this board and NW DC hierarchy, however, there is another way of looking at this. Of all the scandals that have been discussed on these boards one stands out as perhaps the greatest failure of institutional control in the history of U.S. education: the Eric Toth incident.  Exaggeration you say?  What else compares to this:  child predator who is now on the FBI’s 10 most wanted list LIVING on the Cathedral campus for years; hacking into school computers and students files; taking explicit photos of children who attended Cathedral’s Beauvoir elementary school; “babysitting” students and having students “sit on his lap;” and the school botching his dismissal so that he was able to escape authorities.  Toth is the Osama Bin Laden of child predators (and coincidently took Bin Laden’s place on the 10 most wanted list.[/quote]

Bullis is not a boys school. It is coed.[/quote]
