[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it that plenty of GP and Landon parents willingly engage in nasty comments about their rival school, but none of these parents or other families are willing to answer legitimate questions about the school's academics and/or share a glimpse of the school with those who are interested in learning more about these schools and communities?  Unfornately, the silence allows the negative conversations to paint a bad picture of both schools.  Why?[/quote]
I'm not affiliated with either school, but I think it's hard for anyone to want to give lots of substantive info, because it will almost certainly be met with howls of derision and attacks from people who want to criticize (whether it's from a rival school, or someone who just wants to criticize private schools generally, or just a garden-variety DCUM troll).  It's a difficult balance because not responding at all allows people to claim "Oh, the silence speaks volumes!" (one of the more annoying DCUM cliches).  I could certainly see someone choosing not to post because it just feeds the flames, and any readers who are really interested in the school will get info from more trustworthy sources anyway.[/quote]
