Editing Harkness table (section)

==Overview==
The Harkness method is in use at many American [[boarding school]]s and colleges and encourages discussion in classes. The style is related to the [[Socratic method]]. Developed at [[Phillips Exeter Academy]],<ref>{{cite web|title=The Amazing Harkness Philosophy|url=http://www.exeter.edu/admissions/109_1220.aspx|work=Phillips Exeter Academy|access-date=2011-06-25}}</ref> the method's name comes from the oil magnate and [[philanthropist]] [[Edward Harkness]], who presented the school with a monetary gift in 1930. It has been adopted in numerous schools, such as [[The Dunham School]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dunhamschool.org/academics/harkness|title=Harkness|website=The Dunham School|language=en|access-date=2023-06-09}}</ref> [[St. Mark's School of Texas]], [[Germantown Academy]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.germantownacademy.net/academics/upper-school/distinctly-ga/harkness-method |title=Harkness Method - Germantown Academy }}</ref> [[Milton Academy]], [[The College Preparatory School]], [[The Masters School]], and [[Seoul Foreign School]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Seoul Foreign School |url=https://www.seoulforeign.org/ |website=Seoul Foreign School}}</ref> where small class-size makes it effective. However, Harkness remains impractical for schools with larger class sizes. Harkness described its use as follows:

:What I have in mind is [a classroom] where [students] could sit around a table with a teacher who would talk with them and instruct them by a sort of tutorial or conference method, where [each student] would feel encouraged to speak up. This would be a real revolution in methods.<ref>Christophe G.

Harkness practices can vary, most notably between humanities subjects such as English and history and technical subjects such as math and physics.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.exeter.edu/exeter-difference/how-youll-learn|title=How You'll Learn|website=Phillips Exeter Academy|language=en|access-date=2018-06-30|archive-date=2020-09-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200901181523/https://www.exeter.edu/exeter-difference/how-youll-learn|url-status=dead}}</ref>
