<p>Now that the Red Sox have won...(another obsession??)</p>
<p>Marite, if 2 kids from your S's school are there (out of 26 students) yours must be the most prevalent feeder school. My son looked at Deep Springs on first pass (through Fiske or whatever) and was interested. We dismissed initially due to location. The idea of self governance, of physical participation in a community, self reliance, etc. was very appealing to my son. What I wonder about is the "intellectualism" of the place. My son is bright boy, engaged learner, has deep interests in academic domains. But, I wouldn't describe him (yet anyway) as a "scholar". I would describe him as a more pragmatic thinker, though capable of high levels of abstraction as well. He is "well rounded"- actor, debater, athletic, social...though time is such that he doesn't pursue all he could at the same depth. </p>
<p>Any sense of that as a factor? </p>
<p>Mind you, son is already set to apply ED elsewhere, but the email today has me wondering...first of all, how did they find him (the email came to my address, not his, for example...)..</p>
