[quote=Anonymous]Previous SSSAS parent and outside observer here. While our kids were at this school we were aware of the very strong LAX culture. If you weren't a part of it you weren't cool. Our DC's played, but were never really comfortable with the whole culture around it. Fast forward a few years and with the fresh perspective of a new school and brief interactions with other schools at sporting events, SSSAS and other strong LAX culture schools, start perpetuating LAX culture in the lower school. The little kids want to be like the big kids and this motto holds true all the way to HS.

The SSSAS administration is very much apart of the LAX culture as well. Their children are players on the school's teams (or at least have been in the past), so I can imagine being a change agent at the school is difficult. It's not just one "rite of passage" that needs to be changed, it's the entire culture of LAX worship that needs to be changed -- and that seems to be something many schools just aren't interested in.
