[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IAC parents are diabolical. Especially GP, Landon and Bullis people with the religious and whose country club is better undercurrents swirling around everywhere they go. Usually when parents take prep school sports rivalries very seriously you have to think they need to get a life. With these parents, they are just beyond any therapy or other intervention to make it better.

Unfortunately all kids who start pure just live in that vortex too long while they are young and follow the same path. Notice how nearly all IAC ex-lacrosse kids just wind up back home with their parents after college and settle into the same jobs and the same cycle all over again? It's like an upper middle class jail with no parole.[/quote]

Interesting take. But you have the direction of the flow wrong.

The antipathy starts with the coaches, administrators, teachers, etc and the alumni and alumni who are also parents. There's a long history here, especially between Prep and Landon.

It moves to the kids, who have the things they have been told to expect take form in their own experiences.

It then moves to the non-alumni parents (the alumni parents are already on-board). They reason it must be that other school. because there can't be anything wrong with our school or students.

In my experience, it's the Landon parents who are most likely to deny this antipathy and who say it's either not as bad as it used to be because kids have been team mates on youth teams or that it will go away if the boys go top college together.[/quote]

These threads are just so bizarre.  It seems like the only comments on here are from bitter outsiders who want it to be terrible.  I played lacrosse at an IAC school and was great friends with college teamates who went to other IAC schools.  I currently have many friends who played at other IAC schools.  My son plays at an IAC school and he and our family are close friends with the boys and families from his club team.  These crazy bitter rants bear no resemblence to my experience.  Somehow, in the last 30 years, I have failed to meet the angry, maladjusted people who hate and are hated by everyone around them.  Life is way too short, stop the jealousy, be happy, make friends.
