<p>i think that she has a lot of thinking to do, she thinks that it won't be a loving and nurturing community like home. she doesnt want other ppl raising her kids...she just doesnt understand</p>
<p>Paleo, i switched names. I am in at Exeter and St. Paul's. Haven't heard from Deerfield yet. I am afraid this is going to be pure agony if i get in to Deerfield. I will be coming for advice if i do.</p>
<p>Where are you leaning towards avoco?</p>
<p>St. Paul's or Deerfield if i get in.</p>
<p>avoco, why did i think cubfan was a preant. well anyway congrats to you. good luck with deerfield.</p>
<p>Why not Exeter? I know a lot about what SPS offers that Exeter doesn't but not a lot about deerfield.</p>
<p>prepparent, sometimes my dad jumps on. Superior, you have to make some kind of decision and i kinda think Exeter would be more like my college life. i don't know how you make a decision. they all have good points.</p>
<p>Oh, I didn't apply to SPS but was just wondering what others thought. I'm pretty sure I'm goin to Exeter over Andover though.</p>
<p>I wrote thank-you notes to the teachers who wrote me recommendations to the schools. But how should I give it to them? </p>
<p>If I give it to them in person, then EVERYTHING that I wrote in my note, I would've already said to them in the conversation with them when i'm giving them the note (e.g. where i was accepted, where i'm going and why, thanks for writing the note, thanks for being an awesome teacher, etc.) Or I could just leave it on their desks after class...</p>
<p>Avoco/cubfan: I'm so happy for you. Academically you can't go wrong at any of these schools. For you it is a matter of spiritual 'fit' and that you can only determine by feeling where the ground feels warmest under your feet.</p>
<p>Lawrencevillehopeful: from our experience the community at St. Paul's was loving and nurturing to a degree we could not match at home, not because we are not nurturing and loving to excess but because St. Paul's is where these children needed to be. It is a large sacrifice for a parent to make, to let a child go to where the child needs to be at that point in his/her life. I hope your mother lets you test whether Lawrenceville is for you. If it is not you could still go home. The real question is not so much whether to let go but when to let go.</p>
<p>tekno 10m, check to see if they have a box in the teachers lounge , and maybe have it put in the box.</p>
<p>Or the secretary at your school should have your teachers mail boxes. Give it to her and the teachers should be able to get it at the end of the day.</p>
<p>Make sure to give a note to the principal too... seeing as they had to give recs. too.</p>
<p>Thank you very much, prepparent and superior.</p>
<p>Yeah, I just thought of that cause I have to give thank yous too tomorrow</p>
<p>Hmm...I should too...once all my letters come.</p>

<p>I have put in my two cents about the Exeter Math and Mr. Feng. My son started at Exeter during his Lower (10th) year and was put into a "transitional" math class. Basically the purpose of the transitional class was to sort out the math levels of students and get them use to the Harkness method. After spending about a month in a class, he was moved up to the next "transitional" class, which happened to be taught by Mr. Feng. My son was already part of the math team, so he knew Mr. Feng, but I'm sure his appreciation of this man was strengthen when he had him in class every day. In the 9 terms he was at Exeter, I believe he had Mr. Feng in all but perhaps two. I'll never forget going to Parent's Weekend his Senior year and attending Mr. Feng's Combinatorics class. It was apparent that the seven student in the class truly idolized him and so wanted to please him.</p>
<p>please him? care to reword? Does anyone here know whether or not that sort of perverted thing ever happens at Exeter?</p>
<p>I hope not, ugh!!! I read the Courses of Instruction book for Exeter and it was really good. I am starting to favor Exeter now, it is really favorable for students in need of financial aid. I'll just have to make up my mind when I visit Andover, St. Paul's and Exeter during the first week of April.</p>
<p>Hey, is anyone planning on to go to Hotchkiss? cuz i am...lol...</p>
