I do recall attending a prep - landon lacrosse game 3 - 4 years ago and the prep student sections were chanting homophobic / anti gay remarks during the game. I understand these are high school kids and some times kids feed off the emotions of the game and mob Mentality can take over during games (this applies to all student sections) . What disgusted me more about this episode during a Prep athletic competition, is there were two prep faculty members standing right next to the prep cheering section and they didn't have "guts" to shush up the Prep crowd when it was pretty obvious to the comment observer they were chanting anti gay remarks. It was rather disappointing to see.

I have other kids at other schools... What makes Landon really, really stand out is that I drive into that campus and I know almost everyone I pass on the white rock road... I know their mothers and fathers. I know the teachers who coach my son. I have sat down with all of them. Sometimes in a formal setting and sometimes over BBQ. Headmaster I see every day, sometimes he is seen playing catch with the boys...he retires this year. Expectations are high...morally and academically. The boys that do well ,try not to disappoint. No one expects a finished product what they do expect is that you, Do your best,do it with honor, and do the right thing. Really loving Landon.

They really are not that much different. 80% of the kids at these schools come from very privalleged families. Yes, I understnad these schools offer need based schlarships but none of the private schools are really socioally ecnomic diverses to begin with.
