The pictures below are mistakes found in the last week only. If I posted all the mistakes in the curriculum, sitejabber would make me a shareholder for posting too much. THEY HIGHLY ENCOURAGE STUDENTS NOT TO SHOW UP FOR MCAS. THE PRINCIPAL IS WELL AWARE OF IT!
This school should be shut down immediately. It's a joke. They don't even know where people live.
My child is going right back to the same grade next year. To a real school. This isn't a school at all. Here's why.
There are all types of mistakes in the curriculum. All types of typos, some things are completely missing. You click on the "show answer" link and there is absolutely nothing there. I mean nothing. Let's get into system issues. Those would be the equivalent to snow days. Any given moment the students get kicked out of the system. They can't get back on until the next day, hopefully. You have absolutely no idea what just happened, wondering whether or not the issue is on your side. 10 times out of 10 it's them. Keep in mind, the kids CAN NOT DO ANYTHING SCHOOL RELATED DURING THESE OUTAGES. THERE ARE NO MAKEUP DAYS AT ALL.
There is no flexibilty. That's a lie. They literally have live lessons all day. On top of the all day live lessons with their teachers, they have separate online lessons. ELA is 30 pages a day alone plus entire books that need to be read (during the lesson) in order to answer the 3 to 5 questions at the end of the lesson. Yes, 3 to 5 questions per lesson a day. Multiple choice questions at that. No written out answers. The don't have to write a sentence. Not one. They have the kids skipping courses that have information needed for tests. Everything they do is open book. EVERYTHING! They can google their answers all day long. In fact, there is a website that has the exact same questions as the school. I'm talking copied and pasted. There is no way to fail in this school simply because you don't really have to learn anything.
This is no school. Not one that has "learning" as the goal. This place benefits teachers that don't want to be inside the classroom. Point blank. The kids are allowed to take the MCAS at home. (The teachers encourage the students not to take the test). They waited until the last minute to say the test can't be taken on personal devices. They blindly mail filthy devices to your home literally the day of or the day before and expect you to touch it. Not happening. It's disgusting.
Don't sign your kid up for this school. The pictures provided below are just some of many wrongs. Trust me, if I list all of them I'd be here for the next two months.
UPDATE: DO you see the response under my review? They never called or helped and still LIED BLATANLY. Use another program if you need to homeschool. They are actually still sending me emails that I need to complete my documents 👌
I fought for 3 weeks to get my kids into school.
A little about my situation: we are between houses and I could not provide the residence information they want. I let them know day after day we are in a motel and I did not want to unenroll and move my kids when we move, so online seemed to be a better option.
WRONG. So after a full week of calling and getting the run around ONE single guy helped me fill out the Mckinney Vento Act. I was told I'd get a phone call from them to continue, and they'd wave the residence form. (FYI when enrolling, there is a page you can explain your situation on)(this was 2 weeks ago on the dot)
Day after day I called about the status of my kids enrollment. Many of the staff told me I could not contact the Mckinney Vento act people, they had to contact me. LIE.
Finally as my local school was starting and I was afraid of going to jail or getting fines I could not afford, I looked it up and found many people who could help. They were shocked I was lied to and offered me immediate assistance.
These people are highly unprofessional. It kept me up at night and I experienced many panic attacks.
DO NOT ENROLL YOUR KIDS HERE. It's obvious they don't care about the kids.
Fast forward to today, 3 weeks later, 3 days into the local school year, I get a call from them. PROBABLY wanting me to explain my entire situation AGAIN.
I cannot tell you how degrading it is to repeat your name and that your HOMELESS to the many people they transfered me too.(every call I was at least transfered to 4 different people for 6 hours a day)
Please do your self a favor and pay for private education or bite the bullet and put them in public school. I wouldn't refer even the darkest people to this company.
P.S. Through out this entire process I received many emails and texts about how I hadn't given them the information I told them a million times I DIDNT HAVE.
P.SS. I also got an email that they had the Mckinney Vento Act form on their website, and I even sent and uploaded my own. Another LIE.
That your kids do not matter to them and they lie blatantly.
Nothing couldn't even get them enrolled.
Racist teachers, intervention specialists,director and very disrespectful! Children have more manner's than these people!Staff. I'm documenting everything! Even the principal makes excuses for staff behavior! The entire staff is only one race! The only staff members that are very kind and respectful and not racist is the speech therapist! They are nasty and sarcastic and say very rude offensive things towards black families! I'm very educated with more degrees than the teachers and yet they try to be sarcastic as well as the director as if you don't know anything! These people have very evil spirits! Definitely shouldn't be teaching if you're racist because it's always going to be kids of colors of the rainbow and if you can't treat them equally then you need to quit this profession! Staff aren't held accountable for their behavior at all and I'm not shocked by that buddy buddy system and clown behavior because they're all alike! Again the Speech teachers everyone of them have been so supportive and welcoming and definitely not racist towards myself and child and other black families. The teachers are so lazy all they want to do is sit on the couch and throw up a video from home and not answer any questions and zoom through everything! Their to lazy to follow the IEP plan put in place to help the child 👦🏽! The good thing is my child is well loved from a beautiful background and family and we are winning! I've learned that when these people are evil and racist like this that they are bringing bad luck and karma to themselves and their family! Even the make 7th grade teacher has a very rude and disgusting attitude! I'm always kind saying thank you and have a blessed day or good day and he's just rude and doesn't say you're welcome or anything as well as the other staff! They get together and they talk nasty about black families and that conversation got back to me last year but I kept in confidential! I don't understand how they feel their better when they literally have to work a 9 to 5 like everybody else! So many staff members leave this school well the good ones leave that aren't racist and want tolerate their behavior and them being so unprofessional and unorganized! I tell you I could've stopped to their level but I'm better than that so I remained firm with what's best for my child and advocating for her even though they try to make it hard for us and not follow the IEP plan! My family is very educated and wanted to attend the meeting with me but I know they wouldn't hold back with them being disrespectful to me so I didn't include them but next time I will including my fiancé as well! Nothing they do with their miserable selves shall prosper! We will keep winning! God has us covered!
