[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Langley, yes.  Mostly about spoiled, entitled kids and parents with outsized egos.

Also, terrible mix of privilege and wealth and recreational drugs and competition over has and has more.[/quote]

:roll: 
Yet another thread that devolves into Langley hate.  I'm a Langley parent and the above is nonsense.  Of course, if you had children who actually attended this school, you'd know that.  Stop spreading these disgusting rumors about a school and student body about which you know nothing.[/quote]
You know, I understand what you're saying, but at a certain point, don't you have to look at the sheer volume and uniformity of those stories and admit to yourself maybe there's something to them?[/quote]

You mean, the few posters here on DCUM who find any opportunity to bash Langley?  That's not "sheer volume".  That's someone with an ax to grind.  And the uniformity of their comments is because it's the same people, over and over.

I've had three kids - all very different, with different interests - attend Langley and NONE of them has experienced anything close to what some of these people say occur there.  Two of my kids are quite shy and introverted, and yet they have each found "their people" at Langley - great friends and good people.  My third child is gay.  Imagine how hard that must be, to be a gay high school student.  Yet he has been so supported and so loved by his friends and teachers at Langley.

There are some very wealthy kids at Langley, but the majority of the students are just your typical UMC kids found at many of the other NoVA high schools (McLean, Oakton, Madison, etc.).  Same demographics.  Some very bitter people simply love to hate this particular school; or any school like it.  It simply gets old listening to the same complaints, from the same people - most of whom have never even set foot in the school.  We feel extremely fortunate that our kids were able to go to Langley and benefit from all it has to offer.[/quote]
