[quote=Anonymous]I think the so-called "Landon booster" got quite a lot of things right about the school, except for the part about children of the wealthy not being treated differently.  At Landon, sons of the big donors' sons definitely get treated differently -- they're placed on sports teams where more talented players get cut, for one thing, and they seem to get awards with amazing frequency.  However, I believe that other schools, including GDS and Sidwell, also do this in one form or another.  I've found students at both Landon and Sidwell to be, for the most part, intelligent, hardworking and polite.  Sure, there are some spoiled/arrogant kids at those schools, but they are the exceptions, not the rule. And OP, don't let all this talk of "alpha males" scare you off.  I've met some extremely talented artists and musicians at Landon, some of whom were good at sports and some of whom weren't.  I know Sidwell students who were great athletes.  I'm sure your son will be happy whatever his choice, and good luck.[/quote]
