[quote=Anonymous]Everything about this post is accurate. Spot on.

[quote=Anonymous]The culture at Bullis is about if you’re rich or famous. The kids are beyond rude and snobby and mean to each other over everything from lunch status to who goes to what parties and events etc. there’s like a caste system for the after HoCo parties for instance. (Not like the normal popular kids but like really international)  The kids in some sports teams are downright mean to each other.  You get treated very differently if a donor etc - for example coincidentally the super rich kids all seem to have that one college counselor with the better connections. The academics are “fine” and not like the ridiculous 4 plus hours or homework a night at some for the Big Whatevers. Some teachers a very good. Some are ehh. And they also tend to give up on trying to engage or challenge kids who aren’t doing it on their own. They ignore “normal” kids and never want to talk about any issues that may come up.  They did figure out how to juke things to get more kids into better schools than they did like a decade ago. The kids all now call it an academy named after the one Olympian and they talk about that one kid and other kids of “famous for DC” parents a ridiculous amount. [/quote]
