[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not true.  We are a new Landon family and the school we experienced is nothing like the cartoonish characterizations I've read on this site.

In fact, some of these posts over the years made me think twice (well, 3 times, 4 times, etc.!) about whether I wanted to even look at Landon for my son.  Well, I am so glad I did!  We found a warm, nurturing community, committed teachers, mentors and coaches….and so much more.

Have there been troubles in the past with students - yes.  Will kids at every school make mistakes - sure.  Do other private (and public) schools have trouble - yes.  Should an entire school -- or the boys who are currently enrolled -- be maligned by judgments about past actions of other people?  Of course not!  Are the intelligent, reasonable parents who look for wonderful educational opportunities for their boys smart enough to decide for themselves whether Landon is a good place - you bet.

Your son hasn't spent one day in the school and you are already rationalizing that the criticism of Landon is unfounded?  LOL.

There is a reason that the school has a culture of misogyny and bad behavior.  It either attracts families who condone/encourage boorishness and/or it has a culture that breeds it.

There is a reason why Landon has been attached to so many scandals.  Please don't resort to the lame "well, other schools have issues, too" mantra that Landon families use as excuse #1.[/quote]
