We moved here from out of state and looked at rec classes for our kids to channel their increasing…read moreenergy, all while getting the chance to learn new activities. We called South Pas to ask what their classes were like and were assured that children not only pick up new skills, but they leave class tired and ready for some quiet time. Awesome. We decided to sign up for two classes based on the recommendation of the rec department. The course we recently attended was Mini Sports Blitz. "45 minutes of games and activities" says the catalog, except for one major problem...the children are active for maybe 5 to 7 minutes each 45 minute session. What does this mean? That the kids wait in ridiculous lines or take turns 1 at a time to participate (recent example: about 15 kids waited 15 minutes to use a bat once on a t-ball stand. They were instructed on how to hit the ball, and run around the bases. There was 1 bat and 1 stand.) So what do the other kids do while they wait so long? Stand around, play with mom or dad, sit, take off, some parents play catch with another ball, go to the playground nearby - for 15 minutes! That's an awfully long time as an adult to wait, and we're talking 2 to 3 year olds...such a waste. While the instructor, Andy, seems nice, he's not volunteering his services. He hardly seems to understand a toddler's developmental needs in a group setting and how the kids should be active most of the class time - he could easily break up the kids into smaller groups, bring in more equipment, or just in case he has to make do with the what he already has, concurrently work on two or more different activities in different areas, and recruit help from all the parents that otherwise stand around doing very little. Cost: $50 for 4 classes. What does this break down to? About $2 per minute of activity. My massages are cheaper! Eek indeed! Is it possible for Andy to reflect on his instruction and notice that the only person moving around and talking the entire time is him? Remember though, this is the 2nd class through SP Rec Services, and similarly low skilled instructors keep the kids active for 10% of the time for the same reason. This is apparently an issue that needs to be addressed within the department either by going to the classes to observe and see how much activity on the kids part is actually taking place, or with a parent survey that addresses this area specifically. Otherwise, this is as good as it gets in South Pas and you'd be better off driving further out to enroll for classes in Arcadia or San Marino, or even to the closest park near you, for free.

I'd like to start this review by listing some positives I've gained from my experience at MUD…read more I learned a lot about sanitation, cleanliness, and etiquette practices of makeup artistry, which is important for setting yourself apart as a professional makeup artist. I also learned plenty of helpful beauty makeup techniques, which confirmed my belief that a professional education is superior to YouTube and TikTok tutorials. Nothing can beat a hands-on education from people who have actually worked in the industry. I'm also grateful to have learned about taxes as a freelancer and union requirements for makeup artists. But unfortunately, this is where my praise ends. I was incredibly hopeful that I'd have a positive and fun time at this school, but sadly, it was the complete opposite. Most of the girls went out of their way to ostracize, bully, and withhold support from me. There was someone in particular who hated me from Day 1, despite knowing nothing about me and having never spoken to me before. At first, I tried to ignore it and act like it didn't bother me. I was optimistic that things would get better, so I chose not to advocate for myself. But everything only got worse over time. I was gossiped and made fun of when I wasn't around, and there were lies and an entire smear campaign spread about me. It got so bad that students in other classes and graduates working at the MUD Shop, who were once kind to me, changed their entire attitude towards me out of nowhere, all at once. To this day, I still don't know what I said or did to deserve this treatment.  Most forms of diversity were welcomed at school, but neurodiversity wasn't one of them. Other students could sense that I was different, and these differences were met with repulsion and fear. When there weren't any teachers around, everyone would fall silent whenever I entered the room. I was fully aware of the way girls would look at each other and laugh when I said something, or the awkward silence that followed when I tried joining in a group conversation. I noticed how most of the girls complimented everyone's makeup looks but withheld any sort of praise from mine. By the time I tried telling the staff about my concerns, the damage was irreparable, and it was already too late. I mean no disrespect towards any of the teachers, and I truly believe they had good intentions and tried the best they could. Even so, I couldn't help but feel like my concerns weren't taken as seriously as they should, especially since the teachers had nothing but positive experiences with the girls bullying me.  Sadly, it takes a lot more than skill to succeed in this industry. Being well-liked by others in school plays a huge role in what career and portfolio-building opportunities are available to you as a makeup artist. My experiences have negatively impacted my ability to do both. Not only that, but the way I view makeup has drastically changed since before I attended MUD. I don't have the same passion, love, and motivation for makeup artistry like I once did. I started school with the expectation that I was going to make friends and have a lot of fun. Instead, I relived the worst parts of my high school days.  Looking back, I wish I had dropped out at the first sign of bullying and gotten a refund for my tuition, especially since it's so expensive. I'm currently attending another school in a different field. My positive experience there contrasts heavily with the one at MUD, and this realization is very painful for me. I'm not writing this review to garner sympathy, but to spread awareness about my experience at school because it matters. I want to save aspiring makeup artists the trouble, money, and heartache of going through anything similar to what I did. If you are autistic or a neurodivergent person, I highly suggest going to another makeup school. It isn't worth wasting your money and losing your love for makeup.

When my daughter first mentioned that she'd like to attend make-up school I was leery. It's an…read moreartsy school. I wondered, would they actually teach her something or would they artfully make what used to be my money theirs, leaving her not much more skilled than when she entered? Well, I was pleasantly surprised. In their Beauty segment, they demand that students be on time, professionally dressed, properly geared and ready to go when class begins. As part of the instruction, they discussed invoicing and tax issues and required, before the completion of the segment, that each student have their own website up and ready to promote their newly developed skills. For their Special Effects segment the dress code's relaxed but students are required to learn skills handling foam, fiberglass, plaster, paints, and flammable resins. And if you're disruptive or don't take the program seriously or refuse to arrive on time and ready to go you may be expelled without a refund as one of my daughter's classmates was. During a time when demanding petty, stupid accommodation seems to be in vogue I love that the program demands a little something from the students and in the most extreme situations will send them home if they refuse to behave like adults. And if the cost seems too much, scholarships are available. We got one from Mike Rowe!
