[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And regarding whether or not Landon has any Seniors who are 19, that is a joke.  Many of those boys repeated a year along the way, so many of those kids turn 19 during the course of the school year (or before).[/quote]

Half the graduating class will be 19  by June this year. Not unusual in private school.[/quote]

I wonder if this statistic is accurate that half the boys at Landon have been red shirted before graduation?  If so, when does this take place?  Does it take place before 3rd, 7th, 9th grades or at other times? If there is an unusually high number of red shirts in an all boys school does that account for higher incidents of boorish behaviors caused by older bigger physically stronger boys in inappropriately lower younger grades in school??

Why is it always Landon that makes it into the news for antisocial behaviors?  What happens there which seems to manifest itself as something similar to roid-rage?  If 50% of their students have been red-shirted and the school is best known for athletics is it prudent to send ones' son to school there if the majority of his classmates will be a full year older. A years difference in age/ maturity is nothing to adults but for children it's huge. It impacts size, strength, confidence, endurance, reasoning, and puberty.

No one has ever been able to figure out exactly what's wrong with Landon. Just maybe it could be that they have seventh graders in 6th grade, ninth graders in 8th grade and college freshman in 12th grade. [/quote]
