[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What total nonsense. No one condoned the behavior.  Several kids were expelled over that incident. But as I said before, it had nothing to do with rich vs poor kids.  It was just a few bad kids breaking old bleacher boards.  When you are the on the top of the mountain everyone wants to knock you off I guess. OP Langley is your best choice.[/quote]

The bleachers were not that old at the time, and rich kids who do not worry about the costs of their actions may be more inclined to engage in destructive acts when they assume someone else will pick up the tab.  It's not business as usual to cause almost $5,000 in property damage at a public facility.

The comments here - variations on "don't hate us because we are beautiful" - do a pretty good job of illustrating why some people who can afford to live in the Langley district avoid this school, test scores and rankings notwithstanding.  And, of course, the biggest criticisms of the school on DCUM in the past have come from parents who have pulled their kids from Langley, and presumably are not jealous, rather than from those in other district who simply point out some boorish behavior they have witnessed.[/quote]
