Lutheran South's biggest flaw is their discrimination--not just from the students, but from the…read moreteachers and staff. Minority groups that are targeted are: people who struggle with mental illness or invisible disabilities, people of color, anyone within the lgbtq spectrum, and females. I can give a number of examples for each. Despite what Lutheran South claims, their resources (dubbed "The Resource Room") for those with disabilities is lackluster. It's stated to be a calm environment for the students to get help with assignments, yet it's anything but. Both students and the teachers talk in areas which are supposed to be quiet--an issue for anyone who struggles with attention and feeling overwhelmed--about matters unrelated to the work being done. I remember making up a test in the resource room and I was unable to focus due to two of the staff members loudly talking about their lunch plans right in front of me. This has happened multiple times with differing staff members in the resource room. I've even seen the staff make unrelated conversation with the students during tests in this room. Freshmen and their families are often not informed of the existence of the resource room. Even when someone learns about it, the process of getting in makes it near impossible and quite overwhelming--a situation which should be avoided considering how the people who need this are more likely to get overwhelmed easier. This brings me into my next issue: the poor communication. I've seen students come back from the hospital with accommodations needed to keep them alive denied by teachers due to poor communication. This was not a one-time thing. It happened a number of times with multiple teachers. The excuse given by the teachers was "they didn't get the email from the other staff about the accommodation." On the treatment of students with disabilities, anyone who has disorders regarding sensory sensitivity, severe anxiety around crowds, eating disorders, etc are mistreated and harassed by some staff members. The principal and a few others staff members made passive aggressive comments and harassed multiple students at the school because of their autism, severe anxiety, etc. Racism is an issue at Lutheran South as well, mainly among freshmen and sophomores. Fortunately, the staff does try to reprimand those who make racist comments. However, I would still be aware of this if you were putting your child into Lutheran South. On the topic of race, the school generally isn't very diverse. I'd say around 20% of the student body are people of color. LGBTQ individuals are targeted by Lutheran South's teachers and fellow students. If a student is accused of being gay, they are sent to the student counselor by the teacher. Luckily, the counselors are kind and won't punish you for the crime of existence. I remember this happened to two different students back in my freshmen year. A year after that, a freshmen boy was bullied out of the school by both his peers and one of the theology teachers for wearing nail polish. Quite a few teachers have a clear distain for anything related to homosexuality and transgenderism, often spreading misinformation to the students about them. Recently, a teacher inappropriately stated, "Girls used to be anorexic if they're insecure. Now, they're just transgender" to a class during a conversation of transgenderism. Misogyny is an issue as well. Teenage boys will harass their female peers and get away with it. If a girl and a boy would do the same thing, the girl would get a harsher punishment or blamed for the boy's behavior. However, I'd say that this issue has decreased since the new dean of students came in: Scott Akerson. He's a wonderful and very needed addition to Lutheran South's staff, being one of the few staff members who truly represent Christ. The last issue I've had at the school is how it handles religion. Generally, the school teaches the students that they are terrible beings who deserve to go to hell all because they exist. The "No True Scotsman" fallacy is used constantly to undermine the faith of anyone who isn't "passionate enough" about Christianity. Also, I have had the misfortune of witnessing teachers, staff members, and school associates promote odd things with the excuse of religion. This ranges from a teacher defending a Lutheran pastor who was arrested for holding CP because "he will apologize and go to heaven", putting up dozens of mini crosses outside of the school to "represent the babies lost to abortion" during Easter, also during Easter: 3 students in each Athletic performance class had to take turns carrying the weight of the cross using a 300 pound barbell around the school's perimeter, and producing an article that claims that a man's cancer (and his doctor's inability to notice it in time) is punishment for God for being a "lukewarm Christian." Overall, the school is okayat best. At worst, it's toxic and mistreats the students who go there.

Initially our experience with Assumption Early Learning was positive until our child was almost…read moreone. At that time, the administration started suggesting our child was behind developmentally because they weren't walking yet. We asked our Doctor and they said not to worry about it as kids develop at their own pace. The head of the daycare continued to push us to seek help even though we weren't worried about it, even to the point of having a social worker say they don't qualify for services. Shelley continued to push despite not being a doctor or having a degree in social work. Eventually we figured out that they were pushing this so hard not for the welfare of our child, but because they had promised someone the spot in my child's classroom and wouldn't move them to the next class because they couldn't walk. We were happy to leave the preschool after dealing with their attempts to bully and shame us, however, it took my child several years to trust teachers again after being at Assumption.

I have decided to truly get in touch with my St. Louis roots and yelp my high school. I mean,…read moreisn't that what being a St. Louisan is all about? The Catholic School joke in my day went something like this. How many _____ girls/boys does it take to tap a keg. For Nerinx: One, she's an empowered woman, the rest are all out T.P.ing. Yep. that sums up my high school experience. I loved every second I spent at Nerinx Hall. I loved being at an all girls school, I loved the teachers, I loved the atmosphere and I loved the array of options I had for classes. Although Nerinx is Catholic, they never pushed a Catholic agenda on us, and in fact, they challenged us to think through rhetoric. I think that may be how I ended up the way I am today. The teachers were (for the most part at least) amazing. I always felt like I could confide in them if I needed to, they were challenging but not to an unmanageable extent, and to this day, some remain the best teachers I have ever had. I loved the array of classes I had to choose from at Nerinx as well. There clearly was core stuff I had to take, but my senior year, I took an amazing class called Innocence and Evil in Literature, I took an entire religion class in Death and Suffering (it sounds morbid, but I swear it was a great class), I took Astronomy, I took Anthropology, I took bowling as a gym class. Nerinx really offers a ton of different courses for being a small private school. It's really very impressive. Also, they have a ton of different things to get involved in. They have nearly every sport (everything from Softball to Racketball to Lacrosse), dozens of clubs (Model UN, Yearbook, a literary magazine, school newspaper), there's great drama, great music (everything from choir to jazz band), and at least 3 service trips every spring break. Seriously, so much stuff to do it's impossible not to be involved. Nerinx is known for empowering women. I am not sure how much of this is serious, but the characters that come out of that school surely prove that they are doing something right. Minus one star because even in my day the tuition was heinous, it has only gone up, and seriously, they ask me to donate money (and have been since I was a freshman in college) at least twice a year. Come on!

We needed a child care option on short notice and chose this school because of a recommendation from a friend, the Spanish classes and the affordable tuition and ended up being so thrilled with our choice that we drove him 40 minutes each way for his final year of preschool after we moved to Illinois. Our last year at the school was with Mrs. Stacy and she is by far the best teacher we could have ever imagined. Each morning she personally greets each of the children like they really matter, takes an interest in their interests, engages them, keeps a stable routine and is patient. Entering kindergarten, my son knows all of the letters and sounds, recognizes numbers, can count to 1000, can write all of the letters, writes his name, can read about 500 sight words, can sound out many words that he doesn't know from sight, knows Spanish color words and number words and so much more! We were not members of the church, but that did not change the way they treated our son in their care. I can't say enough great things about TGCA preschool!
