[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Instead of everyone continuing to bash Landon, why don't you demonstrate your intelligence and offer some rational thoughts to provide a solution. Landon def. has some problems, kids make stupid mistakes, and yes the Landon school tends to make the front page news more than other schools. This past Winter, several Georgetown Prep juniors were caught smoking pot on campus in the dorms, some were lacrosse players - why wasn't that in the Post.  [/quote]

I don't think that it is up to anonymous contributors to an internet forum to solve Landon's problems.  (Note, the casual deflection of the Landon Booster to the "everyone else is doing it, why aren't they getting bad press too" game).  However, since you asked, they need to do a top to bottom evaluation of the culture of the school, the administrative process, particularly where student conduct is concerned.  They also ought to conduct a realistic analysis of the role of athletics in the school (sports are good, of course), with particular focus on the roles and rights athletes receive as compared to "regular" students.

Quite frankly, I wouldn't want to be involved with the school while (if) they do this, but it could be a much better place down the road.[/quote]
