Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 4721726, member: 153"] My daughter is a junior. We were vacationing in Watch Hill and it rained. So, we did the tour. She has 6 schools that are definites so far, about 15 that are maybes, and Conn. College is on the maybe list. The tour took 1 1/2 hrs, in the rain, but they gave us umbrellas. The school really caters to students, and my daughter liked that. I'm all for schools emphasizing the learning experience, so I can appreciate it, but when you give kids that much freedom, it's dangerous (saying that more as an educator than a parent). I'm talking about the school's "honor system," which is a smart program, but whenever I cut kids a break, only half take advantage of it. The others make matters worse. [/QUOTE]
