The HOS was quite besieged on a lot of fronts – faculty, parents, kids, board. And the schedule change was not just the covid disruptions other schools had. They went from the covid year to having one half of classes on alternating days to having a 7 term “mod” schedule that is wreaking havoc with foreign language, math and music especially – and they are talking about more “changes” for next year! My kid had her last math class in early March and will not have math again until mid-september. The string ensemble could not hold a spring concert because they had not been able to rehearse together since December. And let’s not talk about the 23 kids who had disciplinary action all at one time – and then had to go through it a second time because the administration messed up. Look, we had heard GREAT things about GS – that’s why we came – we had heard wonderful things from alums and recent grads as well. But things are a mess right now – we know this first hand. Maybe the new head will straighten things out in two years or whenever, but right now, I would not make the same choice again.
