[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those statements could be attributed to any school and I don't care who says them, it is an opinion-not a fact.  And, I am not a part of the McLean Langley community.[/quote]

Any school with the same demographics, yes. But she IS talking about what she sees in her practice. I have heard the same thing from other medical professionals in the area.  I assumed they know of what they speak [/quote]

A mental health professional whose office is in downtown McLean is going to see more kids from Langley and McLean than from other schools.  I will give Dr. Sporn the benefit of the doubt, and assume that she's reporting what her patients tell her, but her patients aren't necessarily representative of most students in the pyramids.  PP tells us frequently that she'd be happy if her private-school DD goes to a lesser-known university (like Vanderbilt, LOL), but these pyramids have plenty of kids who happily go off to schools like VT, VCU, and JMU with those around them wishing them to the best.   I wonder whether they'd get the same reception at Bullis. [/quote]

Actually, I don't care where she goes to school as long as she's happy. Vanderbilt is in the Heart of Nashville, and any acoustic guitar player would love to spend time there, hence my statement.

I have made it a point to speak with many medical professionals in the area. Langley's reputation is notorious for stress.  Do you see all those posters at Langley and the parent seminars and coffee addressing it?

If you look at where Bullis kids go to school, it's all over the map, and that is good, at least for us[/quote]

The schools that Langley students attend are "all over the map" as well.  The only difference is that, because of your own misadventures, you want to portray Langley kids who go to lesser-known schools as disappointments to their families prone to psychological problems, and your Bullis child and her friends who might choose to do so as free-range kids who are allowed to follow their passions.  Self-serving doesn't begin to describe it. [/quote]

Go into the private school forum. People don't consider Bullis top tier enough. Case in point. [/quote]
