I took a few driving lessons from Bruce a few years ago when I first got my license. He was…read morephenomenal. Every minute was worthwhile and he focused on my weak points rather than wasting time on things I already felt comfortable with. He had all kinds of useful tips and pointers that I still use to this day. However, the best part came seven years later. I just moved to Boston and got a car. However, I had forgotten how to parallel park (not something you do all that much in Vermont!). I just called him to ask if he could remind me of his handy tips for how to parallel park. He called me back within 30 minutes and gave me an excellent refresher. So sweet of him! If I could, I'd take another driving class with him any day.

My wife and I wanted our daughter to learn to drive safely and Triad Driving Academy was highly…read morerecommended. The first thing I liked was that the owner, Ross Panacopulos, is a retired Massachusetts State Trooper as are some of the instructors. These are the right people to teach safe driving. Despite the fact that she is over 21 our daughter followed the proscribed Mass. Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) safe driver course because she will get a discount on her insurance as a benefit. This consisted of twelve hours road instruction, thirty hours of online classroom training and twelve hours of observation. Carmine was her instructor and he taught her well. She passed the RMV road test on the first attempt. She found the observation "tedious" but that is in no way a fault of the school; they must scrupulously follow the RMV syllabus of study. We have no criticisms of the school. Laurie, Melissa and the staff were very helpful. The only thing I would like to see is that the students successfully completing the course should receive a certificate or other documentation of their achievement. The RMV really should do this. Maybe if I ask nicely the ladies at Triad Academy will send her a letter.
Driving school teachers will instruct students to park on any car in the road. I have repeatedly…read moreasked them to find a different car to park on besides mine (which has been in multiple accidents due to different driving schools hitting it while parked right outside my house). After asking several times politely, a rude, nasty older lady who was the instructor of a poor young learner, decided to be super disrespectful and dismissive instead of just finding a different car to park on. The student seem extremely uncomfortable during the whole encounter and I don't blame her. All I did was ask respectfully to find a different car to practice on while explaining the past situations I have encountered. I was met with "we can park wear ever we want, you don't own the street" which I never claimed I owned just simply asked if she could use a different car to park on. As a direct representation of the company, this woman single handily made sure no kids of mine will be attending their driving school and I will continue to spread the word of this to my friends and neighbors.
Love to learn!

I highly recommend Mr. B at Williams Driving school. Driving can be nerve wracking and he was…read morebasically the driving whisperer for my son. Because of his driving time with Mr. B he has developed so much confidence and was able to shake off a lot of his nerves he was holding onto. The way he taught the class my son said was both fun and insightful. He is not only there for the students but for their parents as well. Mr. B provides open communication and will give you pointers on what he has seen your child present in class to help you teach your child if you ask. My son learned so much from him and passed his knowledge test at thr DMV with ease. Road test is coming up but thanks to Mr. B I am confident my son will do fine there as well. Even after officially completing driver's ed he has been just a text away to offer advice and reassurance for my son. The price is reasonable and one of the best in the area to boot. You can't go wrong with Williams Driving School

Neat organization to have in town.

Each of us spent a half hour making a glass piece of our choice in the workshop. Since you can only make one piece at a time, we were there for a total of two hours. We made the glass pieces under the instruction and supervision of Lada, the super talented glass blower. He is a rarity, as he learned glassblowing in Moravia, Czech Republic. He also worked as a glass blower at Simon Pearce for many years. He saw that many had a desire to learn glass blowing, so he and his wife opened this magical store and workshop. We made beautiful glass pieces such as a vase, pitcher, flask and bowl in various colors. Since they will take approximately one day to cool and set, Lada will be mailing the pieces to our homes. We can hardly wait to see the finished glass pieces!

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to attend Proctor Academy for high school. I had…read moreactually gone to Milton Academy for my freshman year - but it wasn't the right fit-vibe for me. It was too impersonal. At proctor, it's a much smaller school so you really get to know everyone. It was only 310 students when I graduated in 2000. The thing that makes proctor amazing: Excellent teachers, 2000 acres of land in which to go hiking, snowshoeing, cross country running, learn about the woods, maple syrup shack, we have our own lodge on elbow pond, our own blackwater ski mountain with lifts and a lodge.... I could go on and on. The brand new state of the art recording studio and performance center are amazing. The facilities just keep getting better and better. Proctor is a great school especially if you have special learning needs. I had a hard time getting a grip with hyperactivity as a youngster, and with 1 on 1 attention, I went from getting Ds to straight A's. I got my learning style down and I was able to excel independently. Proctor also offers really good abroad options. Mountain Classroom, Ocean Classroom (I did this one - sailed a tall ship from boston to puerto rico - amazing), France for a trimester (did this too), Spain, Costa Rica... all paid for in tuition. It sounds corny but some of my best friends are the ones I made at proctor. Everyone was like family. I couldn't have gone to a better school for me.
Absolutely LOVED this place. It is inside their glass blowing store, so before we got our table we…read morewere able to see beautiful glass pieces. Once inside, all looked perfect but the outside seating has the waterfall view and it's just beautiful. Service was amazing, fast friendly and professional. They bought us a bread plate with maple butter, and our drinks. The menu has a lot of delicious options so it was hard to decide but finally we had to have the Cheese Soup, which I have to recommend, regardless of the weather. This was excellent. And as my entree I went with the Fish and Chips. That fish tasted so fresh, the batter was not overwhelming the fish, and the tartar sauce was on point, It was a nice portion, that I was able to share with my Fiancée. He had the quiche that also tasted very fresh and the side salad it came with was divine. The food was so impressive we wished we had left room for dessert. But hopefully we get the chance to try some another time. Definitely a must visit.
I'm so sad to have to write a negative review of Simon Pearce (although there are plenty of them…read moreout there). It was our first time there, celebrating our son's 21st birthday. Not sure what happened between the kitchen and our server, but 2 of 3 main courses came out cool. One was my crab-stuffed sole and the other was our son's $85 filet mignon. We had to let the server know. She brought over the manager who said they would "reheat" our dishes. I questioned him, um, "reheat" not remake? He said he could redo them but the steak will take 25 minutes (son's father had already dug into his duck by this point). Manager said if we try reheating it and it's not to our liking he'd take the steak (no mention of the sole) off the bill. We said fine, let's try reheating so as to resume eating asap. Of course the steak was no longer medium-rare and my fish was pretty awful. The most annoying thing is that he/manager NEVER acknowledged my meal being cold and removing it from the bill. Only my son's steak. Why? I don't know. In general, I think the food here is overpriced and very underwhelming. Now I know and I don't need to go back.Food did not have the flavors outlined in the descriptions. Our Waitress was very good though (not her fault the food was not to par for the price). The bread and whipped butter was excellent
