[quote=Anonymous]It is always interesting, and sometimes entertaining, to see the convtraversy and passionate opinions that some schools, like Landon provoke.

Each of these schools are excellent in their rights.  Pettiness often shows through when posters need to self-actualize about how their school is superior.  And often it is because the parents needs to feel superior about themselves, or have an underlying insecurity.

I do believe Landon gets attacked because the makeup of some of the kids that attend there invoke jealousies in other parents (athletics?).  I do not have any sons currently there or going to attend there in the future.  Why else should there be such a morally superior judgement of the Landon dance?  What about the St, Albans gun incident this past week or the drug-related issues of past years?  Not trying to call out St. Albans as it is obviously a great school, just saying this kind of behavior can happen anywhere.  It is how it is reacted to by the school that is most important.

We could be more productive here if we took the high road as to what a school's benefits are for a particular type of kid, rather than tearing down.  Please check your egos and insecurities at the door.
