How would you rate the offered courses at this school? (1 being easiest and 10 being hardest)

    I would rate it as about 8; it depends on the course.

    English classes are really hard. It is very hard to get an A in it here, especially with some particular teachers. sparknotes isn't that big a big help anymore

    It really does depend on the course.. a lot of us disagree with the way math is taught here.. the teachers expect you to be a genius and push you to derive formulas by yourself. Our textbooks aren't humongous. Instead they look like thin pamphlets and we only get about 8 to 10problems a night, but they are usually challenging. A lot of math teachers don't understand the fact that we simply aren't as smart as them and don't think the way they do. give us a break!

    I actually enjoy the way math is taught here. it develops our critical thinking by making us derive formulas instead of memorizing something the textbook gives you

    3-5: english classes are pretty hard, but the rest really aren't bad. I definitely agree that the Math classes are great. I love the way it's taught here.

    I mean a class can be good (quality wise) but it can also give you like a B. That's what's frustrating. I love my religion class and I love my teacher but I just can't get the grade. Great classes andd dynamics but hard difficulty wise.

    english and art never give a's. which is sort of weird considering they're my favorite classes and i'm doing the worst in them.

    i agree. the classes are great. the discussions are an awesome way to learn, but straight A's are no longer possible!

    i don't think this blog is helpful at all.
    the only reason people make blogs is to DRAW ATTENTION TO THEMSELVES, or have an OUTLET. this is both. it was already written up in the exonian, and everyone said it was neither good nor bad, just because they didn;t want challenge ppl who were sp[eaking the truth, even though THIS IS MOSTLY LIES.

    personally, i think PHILLIPS EXETER ACADEMY IS AWESOME
    and
    THIS BLOG TOTALLY SUCKS!!!
    from,
    the rational person with a brain enough to see when a great school's rep is getting trashed because a kid was bored one saturday night so he created a blog

    I think this 'rational person with a brain enough' is himself being irrational and pea-brained. How in the world is the administrator supposed to draw attention to hismelf ie he/she is anonymous? How can you show that this school's rep is getting trashed, when the polls clearly say that more people would return to Exeter than don't? And if you sift through the topics, most of the comments are optimistic and helpful rather than purposefully degrating. I think you yourself are the one that's CAUSING this blog to suck and you're the one who's giving the school a bad name because it proves that our school unfortunately houses 'IDOT' students like yourself. I hope you meant to spell it correctly and say 'idiot' rather tha IDOT? sounds like some apple product.

    If you love this school so much, go post some reasons that could convince applicants to come here.

    -Bigger brain than you because I can actually spell.

    p.s. the negative comments about this school are usually true and they're more of what this school needs improvement on rather than this school sucking for it
    p.p.s. the poll is would you RETURN to Exeter. A lot of students were encouraged or even forced by their parents to come here, and the poll asks if they would return if they had a choice.
    Also, you could enjoy a life-changing experience but not want to go through it again. I'm extremely happy that I came here because I learned so much. But would I do four more years here? I don't think so. I'd definitely want my kids to come here though, but again, it's just for the one-time experience.

    It's possible to get As in English and Art. Really.

    Math can be difficult. Impossible if you don't go for extra help.
