Because the testing culture here destroyed my child’s mental health. She is massively happier now. If she returned, she would have to start over. Plus, you can’t apply for Oxbridge if your predicted grades aren’t all A*s so even if you get them in the end, you are not able to go there.

Yeah, I sent my American daughter to University of Washington this past year. I need to have a talk with her when she gets home (UK). She needs to think about transferring to a Canadian university. UK is too different for that to work.

I am supposed to go to a talk with UK students in July to promote study in the US in general and Harvard in particular. Messaged the woman who invited me earlier as this is now totally pointless. At the moment she is in denial. I will back out. I can’t recommend it even if this is rescinded.

That was my thought. A sort of university in exile. I am sure it will be debated. As an alum, I am expecting an email over night explaining their strategy and date for a for call with the President of Harvard to solicit the support of alumni.
