Due to a last-minute change when our host-instructor became ill, Glen ended up taking on both roles himself, and he handled it incredibly well.

There were a few hiccups around the last-minute change and some initial miscommunication, but Fleur ultimately worked with us to resolve everything fairly and provided an appropriate refund for the part of the experience that couldn't be delivered as originally booked. In the end, everything was resolved on a positive note. Most importantly, Glen made the night an absolute success. We had so much fun and would highly recommend him!

I even made the dean's list. I graduated from there twice. The tuition was subsidized by the Workforce at the labor department. I was lucky they paid for it and that I was able to study there. I liked the teacher who taught the class in 2004. Even though the teacher who taught the class in 2012 was good at teaching it, he was very nasty and abusive and constantly harassed me. He could not be trusted and used his position against me. From the very beginning of the course, he harassed me that he was going to have me expelled after an issue had happened when I tried to log on to the website to take an exam. He also stalked me by sending me a lot of emails that he was going to have me expelled. Even after I complained to the staff about him, he continued to harass me. He was also a reverend who took the class on to religious websites and talked about religion and the bible when he was teaching the class. He played the religious man, but he was really the devil. Being some of the students and staff were loyal to him, after I graduated, they turned against me. The new dean that took over breached my confidence by forwarding my emails to the other staff people. The school also has a job placement service and had promised the students that they will help them get employment. I was lucky if they even got me one interview. I ended up finding employment on my own. I was not happy with the director of job placement after I graduated in 2012. All she did was copy and paste job ads that she got off of the internet. Her contacts and her meetings were nasty. In conclusion, the Hohokus Hackensack school of business was a very good school. Some of the people there were not very nice and could not be trusted. I got crap from them.

Concerns About Professionalism, Favoritism, and Classroom Management…read more My experience in the LPN program at Eastwick College's Hackensack campus was deeply disappointing, especially considering the approximately $36,000 tuition investment students are expected to make in their nursing education. Aisha Ortiz was the worst instructor at Eastwick College's Hackensack campus. Ms. Ortiz refuses to display professionalism, strong classroom management skills, and the overall learning environment within the LPN program needs better teachers. In my opinion, an effective nursing instructor should demonstrate strong teaching skills, maintain appropriate professional boundaries, treat students fairly, and create an environment where everyone feels respected and supported. Unfortunately, my experience left me questioning whether these expectations were consistently upheld. One of my biggest concerns was the perception of favoritism among students. I felt that certain students received preferential treatment, which contributed to an uncomfortable classroom dynamic. Rather than fostering an atmosphere centered on academic achievement, mutual respect, and collaboration, the environment sometimes felt divided. Nursing school is already demanding, and students should not have to worry about whether personal relationships influence how they are treated academically. I was also uncomfortable with what I perceived as a lack of appropriate professional boundaries between the instructor and students. In my experience, instructors should be mindful of confidentiality, particularly when discussing sensitive academic matters such as grades. Students deserve to trust that their academic performance will be handled discreetly and professionally. Any perceived discussion of students' grades among their peers can damage that trust and create unnecessary tension within a class. Additionally, I had concerns about classroom management and the learning atmosphere. Nursing students need structured instruction, consistent expectations, and educators who prioritize the educational needs of the entire class rather than allowing certain individuals to dominate the classroom experience. These concerns contributed to my overall dissatisfaction with the educational environment at Eastwick College and influenced my decision to leave the program and continue my LPN education elsewhere. My intention in sharing this review is not to discourage anyone from pursuing nursing, but to encourage prospective students to research their instructors and educational programs carefully. Nursing education requires professionalism, fairness, accountability, and a genuine commitment to student learning. Ultimately, my experience did not meet the standards I expected from a nursing instructor. I believe students deserve an educator who can establish clear professional boundaries, maintain confidentiality, manage a classroom effectively, and ensure that every student has a fair opportunity to learn and succeed.

My School is closing!!…read morehttp://www.northjersey.com/education/educationnews/Hackensack_Catholic_school_to_close.html Hackensack Catholic school to close Wednesday, February 18, 2009 BY JOHN CHADWICK NorthJersey.com STAFF WRITERS A Catholic elementary school in Hackensack will close in June because of declining enrollment, the Newark Archdiocese said today. Holy Trinity School, on Maple Avenue, has experienced about a 24 percent decline in students since 2000 and currently has an enrollment of 183, said Jim Goodness, a spokesman for the archdiocese. Church officials plan to merge Holy Trinity with St. Francis School, a parish school on South Main Street that also has suffered enrollment loss and is down to about 118 students. The archdiocese decided that St. Francis School would be the one to stay open because it has received extensive renovations in recent years. The school is under a flight path for Teterboro Airport and received government grants for soundproofing, Goodness said. "To try and level off the costs of providing education and stabilizing enrollment, which has fallen at both schools, the natural solution is that the parishes should combine their schools into one," Goodness said, adding that such issues as transportation and staffing were still being worked out. Holy Trinity is the sixth parish school that the archdiocese plans to close this year and the only one in Bergen County. The other schools are in Hudson, Essex and Union counties. Goodness said that schools with declining enrollments typically turn to the parish for financial assistance. But with parishes also struggling with changing demographics and increased costs, their ability to support schools is limited. "It is reaching the point in some parishes where they cannot support the school in the way they might have in the past," Goodness said. The pastor at Holy Trinity said the parish was contributing about $150,000 to $200,000 to the school, but the enrollment was still falling. The tuition is about $3,200 a year for parish families. **************************** How could I *not* give my Elementary school five stars? (Especially if it's Religious!) No, seriously. All kidding aside, this was a Catholic K-8 school, complete with boys and girls in plaid uniforms, nuns in habits, and daily assembly outside in the parking lot (YES, even in the SNOW) to 'line up' and take attendance. Though I was never baptised and never raised Catholic, I thought this was a great place. The teachers and sisters at this place ran a TIGHT ship. You wouldn't ever THINK of smack talking, much less bring stuff to school that didn't belong. The fear of the cruxifix at the front of each classroom was enough to set you straight, regardless of your religion. Looking back, for a faculty of ALL women, these ladies knew what they were doing- they did NOT take crap from us kids! AND, I even learned a few things, science and math, and they even had art and music class. Gym in those uniforms was pretty uncomfortable, though I was only there from 3rd through 5th grade ... and THEN I went to public school in Southern California! Oh, the horror!

I stayed the first day and witnessed the team bust their ass doing their best in making sure the kids were safe, areas were clean and tidy, and them preparing the for the next activity all in the while the kids were having fun. My son had a BLAST these three days because of the amazing team. It has ALWAYS been a struggle getting my son into these type of things and often times I would get calls to pick him up early due to challenging behaviors or him not wanting to participate and I quite frankly had given up any hope until we tried Pizazzles. The staff were all super friendly, kind, and understood my craziness in making sure my son was behaving appropriately while I wasn't there and respecting the fact that my son may or may not want to participate in all of the activities. My son told me that he had a great time and looked forward going back the next day. I'm so happy this worked out and looking forward to their other events in the future! Definitely A++++++++

A lot of other writing teachers I've had in the past get an idea in their head of how to fix a piece and try to steamroll you into executing it, but Alex was exactly the opposite! My vision was heard and supported at every step. Alex really took the time to understand me and my pieces, and they were better for it. I credit the confidence with which I submitted my applications to Alex and look forward to working with him in the future once I finish my manuscript draft!
