[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid really liked schools with an honor code (like Haverford and Davidson).

The tour guides gave examples of how you could leave your backpack in the library and come back without it being stolen. Or one incident where someone found a ten dollar bill on the ground and tacked it to a bulletin board for the owner to retrieve it.

[b]What kind of kid would be worried about a place that values honor and integrity?

A kid who doesn’t like being unjustly accused or expelled in college. A kid who doesn’t want to be bullied in some “student court.”

Then this kid (or parent) needs to get his anxiety under control.  Went to Stanford back in the day.  Because of the Honor Code, all exams were unproctored and it was great knowing that everyone respected each other enough to NOT cheat (although there was one famous episode in Philip Zimbardo's Psych class that got a bunch of people suspended.)  How many people do you think going around falsely accusing classmates?[/quote]
