[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious if those who are bashing Landon actually have a boy who attends there.  
My son is there and we're finding that it's a MUCH better social environment in all ways than his previous co-ed school.

Could you tell us more? Better in which ways? And specifically how do the differences relate to OPs original concerns re bro culture?[/quote]

I'm only speaking to my son's experience, so it could be the others feel differently, and I know it varies depending on the particular makeup of the grade, but his former school paid a LOT of lip service to diversity and inclusion, while the culture among his peer cohort was filled with a lot of kids who were distracting inside the classroom and spent a lot of time and energy excluding and being mean to one another outside of it.  Exclusion was the name of the game.  It seems like Landon has a much better handle on these things from the top down with the teacher/coach/mentors ACTUALLY paying attention to what's going on -- the culture is that they actually take one another seriously in the classroom and as a result the boys are able to bloom where they're planted and feel more comfortable in their own skin.  The school makes an effort to create community among the boys and (most of) the boys seem to buy into that. [/quote]
