[quote=Anonymous]Hesitant to weigh in here since this thread has devolved, but I haven't seen anyone mention the actual value and benefits of the BS education. I went from a top public high school, all AP classes, to Andover and the difference was astounding - not just the grade level/difficulty but the enthusiasm and depth. Reading Shakespeare outside with a class of 12 on a beautiful New England spring day is memorable to me even with my 25th reunion coming up. Yes I got into HYP, and I found it a lot easier than my roommates who had not gone to prep school because I had already experienced a soul-crushing amount of homework at Andover, but the depth of study and the way we were pushed to learn and explore and think, not just study and memorize, was remarkable. My kids are in elementary school still but I have them at a progressive school in the hopes that they will learn to love learning, not just learn how to learn.[/quote]
