A week in Groton-Dunstable
In the morning, an Honors or AP class in a high school of fewer than 800 pupils, with one teacher for every twelve pupils. On Thursday, a dual-enrolment class with the nearby college, to start university before the end of high school. Grade 12 pupils work on their senior project, the personal project that closes the year. At the weekend, New England: the villages, the forests that turn red in October, snow in winter, and Boston an hour away for museums and universities. From -5 to 21 °C.
