[quote=Anonymous]I never thought I would be writing in defense of the Landon School for Boys, but this bashing is just so indiscriminate. The school has issues and many are well-known. The Huguely incident is not Landon-specific and should be more of a wake-up call for indulged athletes wherever they go to school. To use that unfortunate event as a litmus test for Landon School discredits any other argument.

My sons have played on club teams with Landon boys and have regularly played against Landon teams for the last 9 years. In that time, we have seen some wonderful kids from Landon and some pretty nasty ones as well. The same goes for the parents -- some of the best people I know and also some parental units that I would prefer not to encounter again. That said, I don't think Landon is any different from the other private schools in the DC area, they are just a lightning rod for criticism. Also, the fact that they routinely beat the other schools in so many sports makes them that "bully"  we all love to hate. So, put down the the poison pen and acknowledge that Tre' Johnson is making a difference in the lives of some young men. I wish my guys could get an exposure to someone like Tre', who has achieved excellence in his playing career and thne moved on to success after the NFL. Good for Landon and its students.[/quote]
