[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bullis already has pretty impressive facilities. When we went for the second visit, there were things that the facilities just couldn't make up for. One, the head of school totally creeped me out. He wreaked of cigarette smoke, was a close talker, and gave me a used car salesman vibe.

During the reception, it was extremely segregated to the point where my daughter even pointed out that the Black families were huddled together in the corner while the rest of the families chatted like they were long lost friends. We intentionally moved to the middle of the room to try and meet people, and people talked past us.

Then, while taking a second look at the lower school, we approached the Spanish teacher. My daughter announced that Spanish was one of her favorite subjects. The teacher lowered her voice and said, "Spanish here isn't very good."

My daughter and I both wanted to like Bullis because the facilities are really impressive (and it was her safety school when she'd been waitlisted at her top choice). But the Spanish teacher's odd comment had my kid in tears driving home.

Luckily, my kid got off the waiting list at her first choice the day contracts were due so we didn't have to try and make it work. I love that parents love this school, but for us - the flash was just not enough to make up for some of the other stuff.[/quote]

You should seek some professional help. Highly doubt your kid was in tears over the Spanish teacher's alleged comment. Good luck with whatever school took your daughter off their wait list. Sounds like Bullis really dodged a bullet.[/quote]
