Otherwise your child will just be passed on through the system. The latest principal is very kind in person, but don't expect any action(s) to actually take place. Make sure you keep a digital record of every conversation via email for your own records. Send follow-up emails from any verbal conversations with the school, in order to keep a digital record. Our lawyer has MULTIPLE cases against Flint Hill Elementary school to further support the advice given above. I wish we got a lawyer around the 3rd grade, instead of being gaslighted by the principal. Best of luck to anyone going through an IEP at this school.

I should start by saying I'm an educator myself and this was a bad experience. 1. Our child…read moreattended an after school activity and the bus from that activity came to pick her up. Around October my husband went to watch our child's activity about 30 minutes after she was supposed to arrive and she was not there. When we asked the people in charge of the activity they said the school informed them our child wasn't there. However she did attend school that day and we hadn't heard anything. We began calling the school and I was about to call the police. In the end, the school forgot to get her to the bus and when they discovered this, instead of calling to inform us, they called the activity place to come back to pick our child up. It took over 45 minutes for her to get to her destination and in that time we didn't know what was happening or where she was. We did meet with the assistant principal(AP) who did take responsibility for their mistake. 2. After my mother, a retired elementary principal went on a field trip with our child's class she told me I needed to volunteer to observe what was happening in the classroom. I did just that. Upon arrival the class was still in a special. I was alerted to their return down the hallway to yelling, noise, and one student running into various empty classrooms. The students arrived and the teacher left the para, who happened to be a substitute, with 29 students. I started pulling groups to read in the hallway. Each time I entered the classroom chaos was occurring. One child was running around hitting others, another child was flipping his chair and actually tripped me, another child took her book bag and hit it over the head of another. The para was almost in tears asking me how to call the office for help. I, as the parent, went and got help. All the while, my child was sitting at her desk almost in tears and begging me to take her home. 3. I called a meeting with the AP about what I had witnessed. She was upset and claimed she would fix things. I was invited to observe again and that time during carpet time one child went up to another and kicked her in the head. The AP looked at me embarrassed and said something to the child. No children were listening and it was chaos again. 4. During COVID I realized my child was well behind in reading. I needed to put her on a program to catch her up. If she hadn't been home due to COVID she would not be able to read. We pulled her out and she is now thriving.

They stole close to $3,000 from us without a single service rendered. Save your time, money, and a severe headache by googling their reviews (multiple different names, NYLF Pathways, Envision, etc.).

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express my deep…read moredisappointment and concern regarding my daughter's recent experience at the Envision by WorldStrides Engineering Conference held at Georgia Tech University. Given the program's reputation and the high cost--over $5,000 including airfare--our expectations were for a well-organized, enriching, and professional event. Unfortunately, what my daughter experienced was profoundly lacking in planning, structure, and value. Day One: Students were instructed to arrive early in the day. My daughter, along with a few others, arrived during the designated window and was transported to Georgia Tech, where they sat in a gym for six hours playing Uno. There was no structured activity or lunch provided. Though she had packed snacks, her suitcase was taken and stored in a location she was not allowed to access. Upon being allowed into their rooms, students found there was no hand soap provided. By day three, a college student staff member went to a store to purchase some for the group--completely unacceptable for a program of this scale and cost. Day Two and Beyond: Workshops were disorganized and lacked basic resources. Materials and handbooks that Envision promised would be provided did not arrive until day four. College-aged counselors repeatedly apologized to students for the poor quality of the programming and the missing supplies. The educational content presented was superficial at best--featuring tools like Canva more typical of a basic high school STEAM class than a college-level engineering experience. Shockingly, the speakers lacked relevant qualifications. One had never been an engineer, and the other shared that he had worked in the field for only one year before leaving because he found it boring. No professional engineers were present to guide or mentor the students. When students began work on their capstone projects, many of the necessary materials were missing or unavailable. Technical equipment like computers and projectors often failed, and students faced ongoing technical issues. Evenings were largely spent on social "get to know you" games for 3 hours rather than educational activities. Mid-week, approximately 600 additional students arrived, bringing the total to around 800. All of them were required to eat meals simultaneously in a facility clearly not equipped to handle that volume. During one lunch period, a fire drill occurred, and staff had no clear evacuation plan in place, creating unnecessary confusion and concern for safety. The so-called "free day" was equally disappointing. Promotional materials had advertised sightseeing around Atlanta. Instead, students were taken to view planes in a field for one hour and then spent five hours at a shopping mall. To make matters worse, staff members told my daughter that the original lead coordinator quit just days before the conference began, and the replacement quit midway through the week. Leadership instability of this kind explains, but does not excuse, the lack of professionalism and planning. Families make significant sacrifices for their children to attend programs like these. My daughter, like many others, was excited about the opportunity to learn and grow in her interest in engineering. Instead, she endured a chaotic and unfulfilling week. We ultimately chose to fly her home on day six--two days before the scheduled end of the program--because the experience had deteriorated so severely. We were not alone. Many parents had already withdrawn their children by days four and five. The bright spot was that the Envision liaison I spoke with Victor was helpful and quick to accommodate getting my daughter to the airport. While I understand that our payment is non-refundable, I am writing this to make my voice heard and to warn other families: Do not send your child to an Envision Conference. This program does not deliver what it promises and fails to meet even the most basic standards of organization and care.
