[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bullis will get bashed on anonymous boards for either not being strong academically or being too focused on sports. Bullis will get smart kids, good athletes, and smart kids who are good athletes. Same with any other private school in this area. Bullis has been around for a long time and will continue as long as you have an attractive campus in Potomac with parents willing to pay for smaller class sizes. If it becomes primarily known for its athletics, well every private school asking for 30k needs its niche. If you don't like it don't send your kid there.[/quote]

The difference is in the way they are trying to achieve it by recruiting juniors and seniors from other schools. It feels underhanded and slimy. That is why people are calling them out on it. [/quote]

Maybe because they care about kids. I have a friend who transferred their child 1/2 way through Junior year because he was losing interest in school and headed in the wrong direction with his life. Bullis was the place that reenergized his interest in learning and he is now very successful. (not an athlete) He is at a great college. So what?

Who is going to recruit an athlete from MoCo sports programs - have you ever thought of that. Maybe it's just what a junior needs - some recognition - to get into a stellar college. Maybe their parents are willing to pay the $30k to get a full scholarship to college. Seems like a

good investment to me.[/quote]

They're not paying tuition.[/quote]
