[quote=Anonymous]I've stepped up a time or two to refute it, only to be told my kid is obviously stupid, couldn't get in elsewhere, I'm vacuous, to go enjoy my yoga and Botox, etc.

In fact, I once mentioned to an enquiring poster that Bullis engenders a very bizarre amount of hatred on this board that I have never come close to encountering in real life, even years before sending my kid there.  Many of the things that people accuse it of are simply not true, or are things that are just conjecture. ("kids are known to be more involved in drugs")

Similar things are often said about Langley HIgh, which is our zoned school.  I guess I'm just impervious to it at this point because you can't convince people whose minds are closed anyway.

We like Bullis.  The parents we've met for the most part have been friendly, the academics are good (easy enough to judge when we know tons of kids at other schools), and all the talk about the sports stuff is just that--talk.  As if Potomac and Landon, for instance, don't recruit purely for sports.  Yet only Bullis seems to receive scorn here on DCUM for it.  [/quote]
