[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spence’s head of school is relatively new, but the head of academics Eric Z has been there for many years. He led the math department before. I think the academics head at Brearley has a history background?  I think Eric is really smart with the program design that aligned with the broader girls in STEM trend in the past decade, and that really helped their college outcomes.[/quote]

Interesting…do you know how most of the Spence parents feel that way about him or is he more polarizing with some loving him and others really opposed to him?

I had heard he was involved in the firing of that French teacher and think he was named in the lawsuit?

During the admissions process this year, I came away with the impression that he was quite smug and seemed to enjoy the sound of his own voice. [/quote]

Eric has to cozy up to the new head for sure. Yes he may be a little smug but that really doesn’t matter in my opinion. His program certainly works to get the girls into good schools, but that’s also different from being effective in teaching the fundamentals. I sat in a couple mock classes at Chapin and was happy with that I saw: very thoughtful teachers and in-depth engagement.

Some of the incoherent writings in this tread is giving me headaches so I’m closing my browser.[/quote]
