[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bullis doesn’t get hate so much as disdain. Most people in the DC area private school world consider it a school of last resort.  You only send kids there who get asked to leave other private schools or can’t get in to other private schools. Therefore many of the kids are either not very nice or not very smart. Not all of course but many.

Then of course there is also the whole issue of athletic competition and recruiting and that does garner hate from some parents because it impacts the overall private school athletic culture.  For the poster above who claimed that Landon and Potomac recruit solely on the basis of athletic ability like Bullis does is flat out wrong. Neither do that and I have experience with both and kids who are athletes. Bullis does though and it just seems to be operated with a lack of high standards and that turns many people off. [/quote]

See??  IRRATIONAL COMMENTS.  Only kids who go there are asked to leave other privates or can't get in other private schools??  Your bitterness is ridiculous.

Bullis is sending 2018 grads to Brown, Cornell, Navy, Washington & Lee and a host of other great schools.  Those kids, along with dozens of others in the class of 2018, could get in anywhere in DC.  Why?  Because they're great kids like most of the other kids at Bullis, who have a mix of talents in academics, the arts and athletics.

Disdain?  The only disdain anyone needs to have is for dingalings like you who have such malice in their hearts and minds.  Why don't you go write something positive about something you like?  Instead of this drivel.[/quote]

DP here.....you sound hysterical.  The PP wasn't bitter, they were dismissive.  [b]Bullis is a reasonably good private school but you'd have to be delusional to think it was on the same level as Landon, STA, Potomac, SFS, etc.  Rather than being defensive, just embrace reality[/b].[/quote]

This. It's okay. My youngest is at another okay not great school. It is a good fit for her and she is happy and thriving. Focus on what's working for your kid and forget the haters.[/quote]
