[quote=Anonymous]This post underscores how you should assume every assertion by schools has a level of spin as well as a layer of truth. There's so much that each child's personal experience at a school brings to the relationship with ever school. IMO St Andrews is a warm and happy school - but no matter how happy some kids are at St Andrews, for example, there are always going to be kids who don't fit. Maybe its the school's approach, or the kid's class cohort, or the teaching style. I know of one kid who has had the opposite transformation to that of 22:06 - kid was happy to go to school every day and is now anxious and unhappy. IMO schools can create an opportunity for learning and community, but every kid and family will experience it differently. I don't think you can fault St Andrew's or any school entirely if a student's personal experience does not meet the hype. [/quote]
