Update The Art teacher Erica Brown is one of the teachers who needs to be talked to you She is unfair in the way she treats studentsnnI am thinking of withdrawing my daughter from this school Even my friends have voiced Update The Art teacher Erica Brown is one of the teachers who needs to be talked to you She is unfair in the way she treats studentsnnI am thinking of withdrawing my daughter from this school Even my friends have voiced concerns to me who enrolled their children to this new basis schoolnProblemsnSome of these teachers have serious issues in way they communicate to children or even adults Some should not be teaching in my opinion Example Yelling at students like my child for not hearing her number over hundreds of kids in a gym for pickup Scolding parents for coming one minute early for pickup etc Funny when they MAKE mistakes like the pickup fiasco or passing out wrong books in class or not giving out correct information on clubs etc they say sorry and move on But if it was a parent or child they think they are superiornnOnly reason why basis schools perform well is because most or all of the students are good kids and are motivated Principal and everyone else in that school should realize that and should treat parents and the students with respect I never had an issue with my childs previous school in Paradise Valley more ... hide ...

Because the gifted preschool is so new I could not find any other reviews before enrolling my child Here is what I wish I knewn1 The gifted preschool at Fireside has almost nothing to do with PVUSDs gifted program The Because the gifted preschool is so new I could not find any other reviews before enrolling my child Here is what I wish I knewn1 The gifted preschool at Fireside has almost nothing to do with PVUSDs gifted program The gifted program can arrange testing and get your child in but the program is run by Community Education If you have questions once your child is in the program good luck talking to anyone from the Gifted Departmentn2 In my opinion there is almost nothing gifted about this program Yes your child will be in a classroom with other gifted students Yes this classroom will do worksheets ahead of grade level Yes this classroom has incredible technology That is just about it In my view there is very little here for a kinesthic learner so unless your child is also gifted in the sit down and do your worksheets arena there is very little this classroom can addn3 This classroom is not responsive to the unique needs of gifted children Self contained gifted has traditionally been offered for gifted children who are not thriving in a traditional classroom In this case I found very little understanding or help dealing with some behavioral problems boredom social immaturity my son has that are common for gifted childrenn4 The playground is somewhat open still not clear if there is a gap leading to the street or a gap leading behind a building as I got two different answers from Community Education If your child runs to this gap they will be automatically expelled I know it sounds too silly to be true Why have a preschool in a facility with an unsafe playground Why not station an aid near this dangerous place I know it sounds too bizarre to be true and I would have not believed it myself if I did not have a preschooler with a penchant for running off the playground Nevertheless if this happens to your child they will be automatically expelled and you will be referred to the Special and Unique Needs program as and this is a direct quote from Community Education it is not a common behavior for children to run off the playgroundnNeedless to say we had a negative experience For the money there are other programs that will help my child more than worksheets and busy work more ... hide ...
