I had the opportunity to provide a campus tour this morning to one of the eight semi-finalists for the position of Head of School. It was an experience that caused me to see Proctor with new eyes. The candidates spend an entire day here, so they're going to see it all--the candy bar wrapper on the walkway that makes me cringe....the Learning Skills class that tells so much about our educational philosophy....
You see it all: spacious departmental offices, neat dorm commons rooms, a dorm room that looks like a laundry bomb has exploded.... Students hard at work with Kleenex handy:
I was struck by how many students in supposedly traditional classes were working out of their seats, scribbling on the white board, working in lab teams...
You see it all. Students dressed up because...well, because it's Friday!
