[quote=Anonymous]Whitman to St Andrew’s here.  I did not have learning issues so Lab was not on the table.  Mainly, my health issues has meant school work got harder.  So I had been honors everything and then I was dropped back in math into the standard level.  So my persona as a very smart person who got good grades was becoming more and more disconnected with reality.  And so my confidence cratered.  I suppose my parents could have considered lots of tutoring but I am 47 and that just wasn’t a thing people did as much in the 80s.   The other thing was that there was no accountability at Whitman.  So if I didn’t do my work, no one cared or said anything.  So then I got behind and it was just a spiral.  St. Andrews just expected work to be done and, at least back them, if you just didn’t do homework then you got detention that very day.  But mainly I was just able to start fresh with new people who didn’t really know me and the teachers were great and I just thrived.  To be clear, I didn’t want to leave Whitman.  I didn’t want to go to a new school in 10th grade after going to public for my entire education with the same kids.  But it saved me.  [/quote]
