[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird that the Bullis boosters respond to every negative experience noted here, but are okay/silent with a comment that  the new head will take the school in a totally different direction.  Says a lot about how they view the current situation.[/quote]
A lot of parents are very nervous about the new head. He seems to be a no-nonsense guy with a solid plan for righting the ship. That plan does not include recruiting and "sponsoring" athletes. I am a current Bullis parent. The school is a really good fit for my non-athletic DS (likes sports but not an athlete). I've actually followed this entire thread because I believe that there is a nugget of truth in every negative and positive comment. I agree with a lot of the not-so-great comments. I share some of the same concerns and I'm 100% supportive of a new direction. There are culture issues. There are identity issues. There is a perception issue. The new head understands all of that and I am confident that he has a pretty bold plan for addressing all of those things. We may not be there long enough to see tangible change but I'm hopeful because IMO Bullis has a lot to offer; I think they just lost their way in the sea of athletic competition.

That said, the school definitely serves a need and my DS loves it and is thriving. I have an older DD and a younger DS. Older DD is at a DC private and younger DS is in a public elementary. I'm grateful that we have so many choices in this area.[/quote]
