The kids may not be taught to read and write, but I bet the teachers talk dirty to the kids in the name of “sex education.” Perverts.

Your school was founded by the Blue Man Group. What was your first clue it might be a big joke?

” When a 6-year-old says they’re bored, there’s a problem,” the mother said. “I think they bit off more than they can chew.” “

Ya think ??

I’m glad the school grabbed your 32,000, you insipid dolt : )

Shouldn’t all parents look at the whole public school system with the same critical analysis? If they did, they’d conclude to do the same thing as those parents pulling their kids from most public schools, just like the parents of the kids attending the Blue Man Group school.

Control of schools should be under “parental supervision”, which means, parents should be the ones responsible for selecting/electing the people who will be responsible for teaching their kids, and not some unaccountable political appointee.

Its obvious that these now-disillusioned parents had more money than brains when thy enrolled their children at this joke of a ‘school. It was obviously nothing more than a glorified, wickedly expensive baby-sitting service. When 6-year old children decide the ‘curriculum’ and teachers leave in waves, that might have been a clue. Of course, the fact that the ‘school’ was named and founded by a mime group that paints their bodies blue should have been a clue. However, I’m sure the ‘trendy’ reputation of this ‘school’ meant more to these affluent parents than taking the time to investigate what their children were learning for $32,000. per year. Now, they know and are poorer but unlikely much wiser.

“Parents are understandably anxious about being patient if their child is developing at a slightly later time,” said Steve Nelson, head of the Calhoun School, who advised parents to remain calm.

My parents weren't too patient when I wasn't learning how to read in an urban New Jersey public school. In the 1950s. They dragged my butt away and handed me over to the Catholic nuns. I was much happier (albeit much dumber) in public school. I'm sure they weren't too happy about having to pay for services that they should have gotten in return for their tax dollars.

If these parents enrolled their kids in a private school without even asking a single question about the curriculum then their offspring are probably at the right school.

At what point did you get suspicious? When the school administrator hugged you when you dropped off the $32K check or when your 8 year old came home and told you school is really boring? Hippies teaching the children of hippies.

They can get an equally crummy education in the NYC public schools for “free.”

There’s “feeling good”.
There’s “learning”.

Sometimes the two overlap.
Sometimes they don’t.

When “feeling good” takes precedence over “learning,” “school” becomes a euphemism for “playground”.

These parents are paying $32K a year to send their kids to Chuck E Cheeze’s.

These parents are greatly overreacting. This type of school is teacheing a valuable lesson to these kids.

That a sucker is born every minute.

Did they at least learn to shut up?
BMG is a mime group after all (albeit a noisy one).

The parents must be morons! Sending a child to a $32k a year elementary school with no books, no testing or a proven track record, is pure insanity.

Liberals are stupid tools and the school sounds like a money laundering scheme.

Good parents check the curriculum, not base their child’s education on fads. They probably put less thought into the school than picking out a new car that costs as much money as the tuition.

Any parent that trusts STRANGERS to educate their kids is, arguably, abusing those kids.

Their is only ONE PERSON that has educated my kids, and that’s mwa (i.e., me). The results have spoken for themselves.
