[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am and old Landon grad whose son also graduated in early 2000s.  We both loved and love Landon. A good bit of ire against Landon is the result of now distant past misbehavior by a very few Landon students.  [b]It may also flow from the fact that Landon’s student body has almost always been composed of active, outgoing, sports minded boys whose energy can sometimes lead them astray.  It’s a learning process that most boys go through, and I can’t think of a better place to lead them in the right direction.[/b]
Landon’s headmaster, Jim Neal, who arrived less than 10 years ago, has proved just wonderful in turning the school in a better direction in virtually every respect.  He’s a Gonzaga grad who went to Harvard, has taught at Visitation and St. Albans, and then led at National Presbyterian before coming to Landon.  He currently is in the final stages of a $50 million capital campaign that will greatly improve the school’s already wonderful campus and and improve other aspects of the school. Landon is in a good place now and is headed back to the days when it was widely considered in the same league as St. Albans and Sidwell, albeit with it’s own energetic all boy orientation.

What a shameful laundering attempt. Does that describe organized group efforts to cheat on the SAT? Certainly it doesn’t describe murdering one’s ex-girlfriend.[/quote]

Yes, well Old Landon Grads will do what Old Landon Grads have always done, cover each others asses.  There was and remains NO excuse for the bullying and "antics" that my two sons witnessed and experienced during their years there, none.  It wasn't a growing a phase, it was entitled little monsters whose parents and teachers turned a blind eye even when it was staring them in their face.  Landon can never change given its' LEGACY problems.  Generational "assholes".[/quote]
