[quote=Anonymous]I'm a  Landon parent, and although I haven't read all the responses, the first page is unfortunately confirming the worst stereotypes about the school.  OP, I almost didn't consider Lnadon for my son because of the school's reputation, but I'm glad I did.  Although there are some obnoxious parents who wish we still lived in the 1950's, I've found many welcoming, like-minded parents who are trying to bring the school into the 21st century, and my son has made a really nice, diverse, and well-rounded group of friends.  Most importantly, he has had some really excelelnt teachers, who have brought out previously hidden talents and confidence in a rather shy young man.  Moreover, although Landon has a reputation for sports, it actually has a great arts and music program, and it is very cool that excellence in any fields is encouraged and admired -- some of the toughest guys on the sports team have the sweetest voices!  There are definitely things I dont' like about the school:  its rather archaic traditions such as separate Mother's and Father's Clubs, and rather antiquated notions about mothers' activities versus fathers'.  However, there are some terrific female teachers who I hope will help to dispel such notions.  And the lower school boys are just about the happiest little guys I've seen anywhere.   So I would suggest that you check out the school, talk to parents, and consider if your boy will be happy there.  I know mine is.[/quote]
