Duh. It was a third story window people. Kid grabbed a ladder. In thedead of night. Was dressed in black. Very well planned. Until he got caught. On video. Surprised it has not gone viral. My daughter's boyfriend showed it to me. It is a hilarious video. Until the laughter dies and all that you are left with is a seriously disturbed kid.

He was caught because some of the boarders saw him and thought he was a burglar. This isn't a sign of a "seriously" disturbed kid. Geez. What an overstatement. It's the sign of a kid who doesn't understand real world consequences and isn't thinking things through. Bad choices. Not unusual in a teenage brain.

I'm sorry, let me get this straight.

You believe that a 15 year old out in the middle of the night, dressed in black and using a ladder to scale a building to unlawfully enter a locked building that is off-limits to him, simply made "bad choices?"

Wow. Please tell me where your poor kid(s) go to school. I want to be far, far away from your line of thinking.

STA does not compete with Gonzaga or Landon. While those are both great schools, they are not known nationally and do not have the same level of academics.

Was told landon and Gonzaga saw a record number of applicants for 9th grade.

Sign of things to come for STA?

Not true. STA is in a different league than Landon and many that apply to Landon would never be admitted to STA because they are not suited for the academic rigor.

Gonzaga received a record number of applicants this year - over 1,300 for 255 slots.

I was told that Landon received a very high number of applicants as well, I think due to the new Headmaster. Not sure about Gonzaga.

I think it's time for an Ethics course at STA...

How do you know this?

This is rampant at the most elite public schools in Montgomery and Fairfax Counties.

He was caught because some of the boarders saw him and thought he was a burglar. This isn't a sign of a "seriously" disturbed kid. Geez. What an overstatement.

It is the sign of a kid who must have felt enormous pressure.

Terribly true.

There's cheating, and there is breaking and entry. They are not the same!

If he is skilled at lacrosse or football, possibly. The word at the club is that they are now recruiting.

So if this would be cat burglar was kicked out, will my 10th grade applicant get off the wait list. Serious question.
