[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know these posts are supposed to be positive but you're making this school sound terrible.  Yelling shows a loss of control by the teacher and that is not the only way to get the attention of boys.  Making them run in circles as punishment?  Not taking the best and most qualified students in favor of legacies, relatives of legacies and athletes?  Parents are afraid to call and complain for fear of repurcussions for their kid?  Insular?  How are these things good?[/quote]

They care about the boys but they don't treat them like babies. The boys like it and respond to it. It's funny how kids like boundaries and to know exactly what's expected. They also get the humor that can even come from yelling, having to run around a field or being sent home in a cab.  It's not for shrinking violets but people deserve to be able to choose a school that strengthens resiliency.[/quote]

Sure and I hope the school is up front about these things because this kind of environment is not for everyone.  [/quote]
