[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A number of kids who would have been in this year’s graduating class left after middle school. I have to believe that this issue played a role. Certainly the kids all seem to believe it happened, which is telling. [/quote]

That isn’t true.[/quote]
What isn’t true? Kids didn’t leave after MS? They did but this issue wasn’t part of the reason? The kids don’t believe it happened?[/quote]

There was no large or even medium wave of departures for any of the current high school classes or for the class of 2023.  Maybe 1-5 kids normally depart after 8th grade (out of a class of 80 boys), either for academic reasons or athletics (there are other local schools that are more generous with merit scholarships for athletes).  These classes all had normal rates of attrition.  Each of these classes had the normal 30-40 new boys join them for freshman year.

I have not heard anyone doubt the boys who have come forward.  The last thing the situation needs is people who come on anonymous message boards to make things up, which is what prior poster did.[/quote]

You sound like an apologist for the situation. Stop. [/quote]

I am not the person who wrote that, but I agree entirely; it matches my own observations. I am a member of the Gilman community reporting my own direct experiences. Are you?[/quote]
