[quote=Anonymous]I think cheating and anxiety are probably a bigger problem than misbehavior at Whitman. It’s an achievement culture, so it has all the issues that come with that. The school gives less homework these days and brings in therapy dogs etc, so they’re trying. I think a lot of the teachers turn a blind eye to cheating, which worsens the problem. The students feel like they have to cheat to level the field. The school is actively dealing with the racism and antisemitism with the help of students, and I think students are intolerant of classmates who are racist or antisemitic. It’s kind of a cancel culture at Whitman, for better or worse. It’s hard for kids to recover from hate talk. No one wants to be associated with them, and I know that’s not the prevailing ideology. It’s a liberal-leaning place with educated parents. No place is perfect and you have to steer your kids to the best friend groups for them anywhere.[/quote]
