[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know Landon tends to take a lot of HEAT on this website, I'm actually impressed with the schools facebook page and stories about old and young alums.

And YES we are considering the school for our SON this admissions season. [/quote]

If you are depending on a school’s website or a Facebook page as important sources of information about a school than good luck. You are going to need it.

If I were you, I’d consider you talk to some real people about the school. Of course, you should talk to the Landon boosters. But you might want to talk to others like parents of current and graduates of the schools that Landon competes with.

Why do you suppose there is so much “HEAT”? Is this based on jealousy? Old grudges? Misperception?

And there is a lot of HEAT locally.

I’m not aware of any school locally that has so many people who harbor negative feelings about it.

The interaction between schools comes primarily in athletics. To me, Landon is Sparta. A place where competing and winning are extraordinarily important. Where the athletes are the warriors and where everyone else is just a voice in the stands. I have always believed the teacher – coach model creates this situation.
I’d shop wisely if I were you. All that smoke suggests at least some fire.

And there's a sense that the school is not as politically correct as some might like it. But, much of that seems to be pouncing on a school that you don't like with any allegation that pops up. The same behavior at other places would be ignored.
