I love this Chinese school! They welcome people from all cultures and backgrounds. I am from a non…read moreChinese background. Even though my husband speaks Chinese, I end up helping my daughter with her Chinese homework because he sometimes travels for work. Therefore, it was important to me to be in an environment where I could feel comfortable asking other parents for help. We even have made wonderful friends who we get together with outside of school. Another thing I liked is that the classes are on Sunday morning. We still have the whole afternoon and evening open. Where as an afternoon class breaks up your day too much. We did try afternoon classes at a different Chinese school before, and it was a disaster. It was mainly because most of the kids were tired and cranky by mid to late afternoon. Overall, I highly recommend this school.

Subject: Concern Over Sudden Fee Increases for Harper's Open Studio…read more Well friends, I started out writing a positive review about the exceptional instruction and support for learning artisans and artists at Harper. But now, I feel blindsided. The college is tripling the cost for individuals who take a class and then wish to come during the week to finish projects during what's called Open Studio. Most institutions offer Open Studio time without instruction, providing students the opportunity to complete work started in class. Pottery, for instance, involves throwing, building, drying, bisque firing, glazing, and firing again--it's not a one-step process. It's simply not realistic to finish meaningful work in a single three-hour class each week. Current Fees: $279 for an 8-week class (3 hours once a week) New Fees: Add $279 per week for one day of Open Studio (8 sessions) Add another $279 if you need a second Open Studio day in the same week (8 sessions) Even with the senior discount--half price--many of us cannot afford this drastic increase. Working adults who attend after their jobs will also be priced out. So, I ask: What is the goal of a community college? How are our tax dollars supporting creative growth, lifelong learning, and the spirit of community Harper once embodied? Community education (non-credit) students feel under attack. Is the goal to push us into costly for-credit courses? The administration talks about supporting staff and resources, but the students who actually use those resources feel ignored, skeptical, and yes--angry. Many of us have already been supplementing supplies ourselves--bringing sponges, buckets, our own glaze, even strainers--to help keep things running smoothly. We did this gladly, as part of a thriving, supportive creative community. But with these new fees, that goodwill is fading fast. We urge Harper College to reconsider these fee hikes and remember that the heart of community education is inclusion, accessibility, and shared creativity--not profit.
