[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exeter is Harkness, which my son hated. [/quote] Andover does the Harkness method too. It’s just discussion.[/quote] Yeah. In addition to this not being a significant distinguishing factor (it is more central to the Exeter experience and more broadly deployed in classes), saying you “hate” Harkness means you hate listening to others and responding, processing information in real time, learning to be articulate and concise, and making persuasive arguments to support your views. Hate it all you want but unless you’re planning to win Powerball or think you’re the next Zuckerberg (coincidentally, an Exeter guy), those are the skills required to succeed at just about anything.
