[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The actions of one or a few individuals at a local school in the news recently occurred 35-40 years ago.  Does any [i]reasonable[/i] person really think that those behaviors are still prevalent?[/b]

I have no connection to the school except we've been there a few times for children's practices or games.  I would have no qualms considering the school for our sons if they were applying to high school and if we lived in the general area.

I think OP is muck raking.  Isn't there enough intolerance and nastiness in the world already, OP?  Do you really need to dive in, too?[/quote]

It’s quite hard to believe that people would allow a school’s culture from almost 40 years ago to affect how they think about it now. But yes, people really are that irrational. [/quote]

[b]So tell us: What year did the school's culture change? [/quote][/b]

Are you really trying to imply that the culture hasn’t changed in 40 years?  I would assume that Georgetown Prep’s culture started to change at around the same time as the overall party culture started diminishing which would be around the late 80’s. And yes, I realize partying still went on it just wasn’t as hedonistic.

I went to school in the 90s, and I have to say, I never associated the 1980s with "party culture." It seemed like a decade for squares. [/quote]
