The boredom had turned into detachment and hatred of school in general. When we switched her to Speyer, the sparkle came back. Speyer is able to meet her on her level - and give her the confidence to try things she didn't think she was capable of. The peer group is also just wonderful. While the kids are all bright, there is no atmosphere of competition. The kids all cheer one another in a genuine way. It's a really special place.

The program is challenging but the faculty have found a way to make it fun too. The thoughtfulness dedicated to the programming is unparalleled and the exmissions speak to this success. It's a newer school but the only private program for gifted learners in NYC that emphasizes the need to know your core subjects cold in addition to being a kind person.

They gladly shell out 50k+ per offspring to attend this school yet refuse to donate a measly 50, 500, 5000 etc bucks to the park - a mere drop in the bucket for these multi-millionaires and billionaires. Meanwhile their obnoxious, unruly screaming poop machines use the park as their perpetual playground. Um..it doesn't belong to the school, it belongs to NYC and the people.. not your snot nose kiddos! Ok? You have donated NOTHING..not a dime of your precious pumpkins' tuition goes towards the park ..but keep on playing dumb, so cheap you wouldn't give a squirrel a crumb. Very true what's said about rich folk: like trying get blood out of a stone! Don't be surprised when they pull a Lori Laughlin and Felicity Hoffman to set up their perfect little crotchberries for success. Prison is too good for these soulless tightwads who hath no shame. Disgrace to humanity!

The teachers are obnoxious and rude. They act like they own the public park and sidewalks. If you…read morewalk your dog past the school, they will yell at you and tell you to get off their property. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. They promote "kindness" yet they are the most disrespectful people I've ever met.

They are quick and efficient with their check in process. Enter the lobby at 100 William Street…read moreinto a building that's located near many subway trains. Once in the lobby, a greeting by two security guards/door attendants ensued. It was a basic show me your ID, let us take your photo, here's your guest pass and go through the turnstile at the far end; then take the elevator up to the 12th floor move. Once off the elevator, therein lies Pearson, looking like "Enter Now, ain't no turning back!" As soon as that door is opened, the approximately 30 minute check in process begins. Be sure to grab a number from the stack that is right there as soon as you open the door less you have to turn around and go get one, let the desk aide tell it. It's there for your name to be called, DMV style baby. After that number is grabbed, THEN the process officially begins with the giving of a list of rules and a friendly have a seat. Like the number lady, be hopeful they run your number real quick because when they do, the countdown to exam time starts. And that's when it's all give me your ID, hand scan right and left, photo-op smile and go put your things in a locker. Then you may sit down. Wanna use the restroom, there's a code for that. After being called by number, it goes in order, head to the back and a Corrections Officer, I mean aide will have you pulling out your pockets, body checking yourself and patting your weave. Then the rules clearly posted on the wall will be read and then and only then can you be escorted to the room in which the examination will take place. Oh you nervous ha because it's too cold in the room ha wishing you had a NorthFace coat on ha, and now you gotta read the Declaration of Independence on the screen ha and all you wanna do is take the test and be done ha. Well it's a paper chase and to succeed one must pass. So to all the MCAT's, GMAT's, GRE's, other Test Takers and Certification seekers, 100 William Street is where it's at. For exam taking purposes only.

Going through TSA is probably more pleasant than taking a test at Pearson testing centers…read more Monitored testing should not require treating a test-taker like a criminal/ prisoner. Pearson requires you take a picture and to frisk yourself before you enter the testing room. You have to pick up your sleeves and show your arms to the monitors before giving your own body a pat down. Every time you leave to drink water or use the restroom, you have to show ID again and scan your hand again. Taking a test should not require your biometric information in the form of a hand scan. There is no way of getting out of this; you don't offer your hand print, then you can not take the test. What is this private company doing with your hand print and your photo after you take your test? How long are they storing this information in their system and with whom are they sharing it? Unfortunately, not many of the zombie test-takers in the waiting room seem to care; I guess we live in a "brave new world" in which people are so used to giving up their privacy. Wake up!
