[quote=Anonymous]Let’s be honest.  Those associated with Landon have a degree of cockiness and self-assuredness that drives a small subset of the other private school parents bonkers. It seems a bit embarrassing to be so obsessed with a school that your DS does not attend, but I wouldn’t say it is necessarily misandry because I think it is parents of boys in other private schools that are most put off by the Landon cockiness.  In fairness, parents of boys from Prep and Gonzaga are pretty secure and you can tell that their sons are not intimidated by the Landon boys, but the parents of boys in more artsy schools that the parents see as academically superior can’t accept the prevailing social order where their sons are viewed as “second tier” or worse.  For these parents there seems to be plenty of data to support their view that their sons, not Landon, Prep and Gonzaga boys, should be at the top of the heap.  Alas, it just isn’t so.  The bashing thus serves two purposes –  attempting to humble Landon and address the injustice of the prevailing social order.[/quote]
