My daughter has been enrolled in Grade 6 at Howard School for the past six months. During this…read moreperiod, we experienced repeated and serious issues related to the school environment and the administration. Despite our efforts, these problems were not resolved. As a result, I have made the decision to withdraw my daughter from Howard School and enroll her in another school. I am extremely dissatisfied with the lack of organization and professionalism demonstrated by the administration. Based on our experience, I would not choose this School again and would not recommend it to other parents. I not consider the Howard School like Magnet level, nothing good in this school

I have worked with Julie Hand this year with my daughter to help improve her reading skills. My…read moredaughter has been under grade level by a lot. This year has been a huge success with the help of Sunshine tutoring. My daughter goes twice a week for an hour and the improvement is unbelievable. Last year my daughter was unsuccessful in the star reading test given at the end of the year. However with all the tutoring she received this year she was able to jump 279 points on that same reading test this year. Without Julie and the team of people at Sunshine tutoring Lily would not have achieved that much forward progress. If you are looking for help this is the place to come.

If you want your kids to excel in math, look no further than Mr. Yeh. Our daughter had Mr. Yeh as…read moreher teacher for 2 years at Olympia High School, AP Calculus AB, and AP Calculus BC. She started out failing the first test and ended the year with a mastery of the subject matter, an A in both classes and a 5 on both AP Exams. Even though he is a tough teacher, the kids love him. He prepares them, makes Calculus as fun as possible, and is dedicated to their success. He goes above and beyond in teaching the kids how to learn math. He's not a tutor; he's a teacher of the mastery of math.

In the 1980s I viewed a local public affairs program spotlighting the Adult Literacy League, and at…read morethat time I wanted to get involved. Now that I'm retired, I no longer have any excuses not to. So I have recently gone through an orientation to be a tutor, and have received information on my student. Tutoring sessions are usually held once a week in a mutually-agreed-upon spot (approved by the League) for an hour to an hour and a half. I will be working with my student on reading and writing, and on improving conversational English. The Adult Literacy League, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, is located on Michigan Street near South Orange Avenue and is staffed by a small, dedicated group of employees as well as volunteers. It receives most of its funding through private donors. The staff is eager to help when I need it, and I know I'll need their help often in this new venture.

My experience with writing as a process this semester taught me how to plan my paper's properly and…read moreeffectively. My unit one paper was my first major writing assignment in college, I was not proud of the process I took to finish this assignment, I didn't plan my paper, I just wanted to finish the assignment so I didn't have to worry about it. After looking at my Unit One grade I wanted to spend more time and effort with my Unit Two assignments. I used planning religiously on my Unit Two paper and revision. Using a flash card I wrote down all the textual supports and ideas I wanted to put in my paper. I used my draft as a invention space to write whatever came to mind. I look at first drafts as an assignment I put all my word vomit. After peer review I re-read my draft and completely deleted most of my writing because I knew I could do better. I re-read my draft and my peers draft to revise my paper to better it. I used a Heuristic method by looking at a specific sentence and say to myself "Okay I'm gonna write three other sentences to replace this sentence and see which one best fits". For Unit One I wasn't mindful of the material I had to make my paper successful, I was in a rush to finish the paper instead of focusing on planning, revision, invention and heuristics. In Unit Two genre analysis assignment I told myself to be mindful of this assignment and I planned ahead of what I was going to write. Writing is a process and I think it takes at least one failed attempt to realize how useful planning, mindfulness, revision, heuristics and invention are towards writing as a process.

This school has been such a blessing. Every child is different. My child has a number of diagnoses…read more- processing, dyslexia, adhd and a hearing deficit. I tried public schools with an IEP and special instruction. It wasn't a good fit and while the language and action plans were in place, my son languished and he couldn't read. At Pace Brantley, the curriculum is in place to help. My son now reads, wants to go to school and feels accomplished. The teachers are phenomenal and caring and the attention he gets is priceless. There are hiccups as with anything. But understand that this school caters to children with a learning disability who need a smaller class size.

His reading comprehension was low, he could read the directions just fine but didn't understand what he read! He didn't know his multiplication tables! They never sent home homework and his tests he scored well on so I took it for granted everything was ok. I found out they gave cheat sheets for the kids when it came time to test, same with the public school! Very disappointing for the amount of tuition you pay! They do have good extracurricular activities.
