I'm the poster who went to the rival school but not the frog boiler.  I don't think my assessment is the result of bias due to being a rival (frankly, Prep wasn't really our rival then in most athletics).  Do you really think that people who attended the other IAC schools [b]like Landon, Bullis, St. Albans, or St. Stephens (when it was still just St. Stephens), or the other major catholic/private schools like Gonzaga, GDS, Sidwell or Maret [/b]didn't spend plenty of time with our peers who attended Prep?  We played sports together and against one another, were members at the same country clubs, went to the same parties, many of us went to elementary and middle school together and we all had friends (and people we didn't like) at each of these schools.  Many of us shopped the other schools in that group before settling on the one that we chose.

So, regardless of your snide remark, I'd say folks who attended one of these schools are in a pretty good position to judge Prep.  Frankly, probably better than Prep alums and I think we without the rose colored glasses of fondness for our own alma mater.  And, I'll say it again, while none of these schools in that period had any shortage of entitled, arrogant assholes (in reflecting, neither myself nor my alma mater was innocent of that) and all of them also had plenty of great kids too, I found Prep to be the worst in terms of the assholes to decent kid ratio.

Just stop.  Prep kids don't hang out with Sidwell, Maret SSSAS kids ever.  When Landon and Prep are at the same party, the results are often fights.  You clearly have no idea just how insular the Catholic community (that you claim to have had extreme amounts of exposure to) is when it comes to the schools they socialize with.

Prep and GDS kids at the same parties? :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock: Those two communities are polar opposites of one another and I promise you that 15-18 year old Catholic kids have no interest in anything GDS and you're as likely to see a unicorn eating grass in your front yard as seeing those schools at the same social gatherings/parties.  A bit of hyperbole but you get the point.

Gonzaga; yes.  The rest of the schools you mentioned; no.  Unless you were at Stone Ridge, GZ SJC, GC, Visi, Holy Cross or Holy Child more than likely you have no idea what the Prep high school social scene is like outside of what you've read at the WaPo comment section or CBF talking about a gathering that nobody on earth except her remembers.[/quote]

They clearly spent time hanging out with Holton girls.

Why not just teach your boys to act better, is it really that hard?[/quote]

Prep kids rarely associate  with Holton girls.  That's Landon's sister school and they're not Catholic.  Holton and Prep serve very different communities and you will rarely (I can't remember any) see a Prep kid with a sister at Holton.  There are plenty of all girl Catholic schools in the region with very close and long standing ties to Prep.  The sister school of their arch-rival is very far down the list of schools that they have any interaction with[/quote]

Well this is a perfect example of your anecdotal experience does not prove to be true for the masses because court records show prep guys did party with Holton girls. [/quote]
