LB parents just take the cake sometimes. #1 this is prep school and anybody who told you it would be "fair" or a "meritocracy" did not tell the truth, and you should know better by this age. In fact you (we) are *paying* for aspects of privilege and education that on their face are not fair to equally deserving kids elsewhere. You can't be mad about it, only when it doesn't benefit your family. Second, also by this age you should be familiar with the concept of "meet the new boss, same as the old boss." Why did you LB moms get so fired up to think that the new AD meant your underperforming, non-off-season-training boys would suddenly get playing time?

LB Mom Logic:

Old AD & Lax staff: OMG they're playing the kids of alumni and family friends! Alumni Dad coaches are dictating unfair playing time!
New AD & Lax staff: OMG they're playing the kids of different alumni! Ugh but also talking about equal playing time!

Old AD: OMG the UA gear is pathetic and the JV and middle school team uniforms and gear are embarrassing, non matching and piece meal.
New AD: OMG we have to pay ($300/year) for nice, branded Nike gear to make sure our athletes are wearing the same shade of blue on any given day. Why do we have to pay for everything?

Y'all are insufferable.
