Harkness-shmarkness. I agree it is snake oil. Love the oval table, small class discussion, and all that. That is available at most bs. They main thing is how good the teacher is and how into it the students are (and how well the teacher controls the ummmm “over-enthusiastic”participants). Again, that exists at most of these schools. Call it whatever you want.

Totally agree. It is actually amazing how many people are taken in by the Harkness sell. We don’t do “Harkness” and yet (due to virtual learning) I can assure you that every class my kid is in is discussion based.
