My bad. I read the last line as the location when it stated it right there in the first line.
So this is typical of schools all over the world..write a suicide note.
I would think in this day and age of bullying, depression, LGBT issues,drugs, teen pregnancies, they should be having the kids write more positive type notes.

They're a prep school which means they are already engaging in assignments that require critical thinking. Not saying it's good or bad. I mean the parents thought they knew what they paid for and were surprised with what they got so there's a disconnect somewhere.

Maybe the phrase "traditional curriculum" threw them off.

So I'm not surprised they found out after the fact.

It does sound interesting. Keeping the kids interested and motivated usually works much better than having them memorize everything by rote.
So yeah....much ado about nothing.
My new divining rod for detecting stupidity in threads. You simply point it at a person.
