[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am one of many leaving Prep.  Not a great place for the academically motivated.  Most intellectually curious, bright boys tolerate that the "learning" is reduced to memorization banking that the reputation of Prep will open doors in their future.  Sadly, most of the administration and teachers are not interested in helping their students. This year, a handful of teachers advised their most motivated students to move to another school before they were swallowed by the machine.  [/quote]

Can you please be more specific?  Where are these boys going?  A school that doesn't reduce learning to rote memorization is exactly what we are looking for.[/quote]

I'm sorry.  I wish I knew where to tell you to go.  I don't think anyone who came to Prep planned on leaving so many are scrambling to find a new home.  The experience at Prep is just that miserable that it doesn't matter that much where we are going- just that we are escaping..   That said, most every school wants a Prep boy.

Please don't be fooled by the beautiful campus.  Prep needs to return to its roots and live out the Jesuit ideals of "men for others" that made it great.    [/quote]
