[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I thought I'd let this whole thread die out. However, I was looking at more threads concerning all boys schools to help us start getting a taste of what lies ahead next year. We finally chose Landon for various reasons. From recent conversations with friends and current parents, their senior class and rising senior class seems to be composed of bright young men. Thus, they'll have a strong core of upperclassmen to help lead the show for the underclassmen. The administration seems to be heading in the right direction with a few key decisions which I learned through current Landon parents. Their arts programs seems to be solid and there is promise in their soccer and track programs. In contrast, Prep was also great with a stellar campus, almost equal to Landon in all aspects(some are better and some are worse). In response to 14:04 and other posts, I will just say, every family has their own requirements and tastes. DS did not like Georgetown Prep at all after conducting another shadow visit after acceptance, he specifically pointed out that most of the Prep kids were "cocky" and "too full of themselves." After visiting Landon, he said "it felt right." Now I'm not exactly sure the specific details of the day, but at the end of the day, I wan't to send DS where he's comfortable because of the fact that high school plays a vital role in developing a child. Thus, we chose Landon.[/quote]

It's a life long thing. The animosity subsides, of course.

But you are either in one camp or the other for life.

Choose your sides carefully.

This seems like an ominous and somewhat frightening warning.  Was this the intent of the poster?
