[quote=Anonymous]Did you know before you went to Stuy what subjects you were interested in or did you discover at Stuy that this was boring for you? DC's friend is having the opposite experience. Not really into STEM before the magnet but went anyway and then began to love STEM.[/quote] I never was into STEM, and I guess I chose it over a performing arts school because of the perceived prestige. I had thought I might develop an interest in it but that didn’t pan out. It wasn’t the most encouraging place because so many kids were operating at such a high level with math and science, I kind of just opted out. I did the work but it wasn’t stimulating for me at all. As for college, yes I was ready to work hard so I did well. But small class discussions about literature and history were definitely a learning curve. I noticed that kids with a more well-rounded education were more comfortable with that because they had the experience of discussing things in depth.[/quote]
