[quote=Anonymous]Barrie is not the school to choose if you are looking to cram in lots of AP's. Just not that kind of school - and I think that's ok. I don't think every private school has to put academic rigor and competition as their first priority. People leave public schools for a variety of reasons, academics is just one. There is plenty of room for private schools that put there emphasis somewhere else. Especially on these boards, but in our society in general, we seem to put so much emphasis and pushing kids and schools academically - like something has less value, or is not as good if it isn't 'gifted' or 'advanced' or just plain 'hard' -- difficult classes, hard to get in, long waiting lists.. We wear the "It was hard, but I did it" as a badge of honor without fully realizing it was the journey to get there that was important.[/quote]
