[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will say I find it intriguing he went from Calvert to Kincaid, a perfectly logical move, but then from Kincaid to Tatnall? That would seem like a significant step down. Calvert is a prestigious Baltimore K-8 with a long history and is very well known in the world of education. Kincaid is a prominent Houston school with an impressively fancy campus. But Tatnall is a minor Delaware school. Going from Kincaid to Landon makes more sense than Kincaid-Tatnall-Landon. [/quote]

Maybe he wanted to move back to this general area and be closer to family.  Who knows?  But that would be a very logical reason given the locations of the schools.  He sounds like a very experienced Head, so kudos to Landon for getting him.  [/quote]

I am always amazed that when discussing men moving jobs, no one ever suggests that perhaps his wife is the higher earner and she got a promotion with a move so he needed to follow.

I know nothing about this man’s family. But I find it odd that people always assume the man’s professional move is the one that moves the family. Some women are very successful professionally. Why is this never assumed?[/quote]

Because at this point in time it's pretty much never true? I wish we lived in the kind of society you're talking about, but it's not odd at all to realize we don't.

FWIW his wife's career seems to be coaching lacrosse at the schools he works at. I'm sure she's no slouch -- she went to Yale -- but as far as I can tell her career has been in lacrosse.[/quote]

Yale and Hopkins medical school.[/quote]

She played lacrosse at Yale. She did not go to Hopkins’s medical school. Maybe a different degree there but definitely not the med school. [/quote]

She trained to be a physician while working part-time as the head of Middle School Lacrosse at Bryn Mawr.[/quote]
