    I hate to post reviews about things that aren't the core business of a place -- in this case the…read moreschool itself. But since every other current review is about things other than academics, here goes. (I'll write about academics when my boy gets here for school.) My boy just started soccer "camp" at the school's sports field. The camp is staffed by the school's own girls' soccer team. What a great way to get a lot of coaches for younger kids than a team of players coaching and sharing a sport they love! The web page for the soccer camp is a part of the high school girls' team pages, so it's possible to mistake it for a camp for girls. No, it's just _staffed_ by the girls' teams. It's for girls and boys and nonbinary. The check-in wasn't as organized as a commercial "camp" (like the bicycle and Lego camps the boy has attended), but it was functional. Best I can tell, it was 100% volunteers, and everyone was smiling. The camp serves as a fundraiser for the teams, which is so much better for everyone than selling stuff. The camp includes a good quality t-shirt and a cheap backpack, plus three days of coaching, for $85 -- less than half the hourly price of the bike camp. The boy never admits to learning anything, because that would mean acknowledging that he doesn't know everything already. But he had fun, and played two matches with teams apparently assigned by t-shirt color. So, until the boy is old enough to attend high school himself, go team!

    I worked as a volunteer at Redmond High School and am also a retired certificated teacher. In fact,…read moreamong other subjects, I taught high school "Tech Theater". My interactions with Ruth Barton were fraught with difficulty. She was demeaning and insulting, often raising her voice and making sarcastic comments to adult volunteers as well as students. Her dictatorial manner did not contribute to the psychological well-being of anyone in her periphery. I would not recommend voluntarily working with this person, even though the facility is adequate.

Very well organized day which left a favorable impression. Then the epic C19 pandemic happened which essentially robbed him of the latter half of his junior year and all of his senior year of high school. The joys of the college application process. Fast forward to 2021: The Homie accepted his DigiPen offer. Yesterday evening I had a 75 minute Zoom meeting for DigiPen parents. This morning (8/25/21), I dropped him off on campus for orientation. His first semester starts next Monday 8/30/21. I am excited about the next chapter of him starting college, but tempered and grounded in reality. Following his dream will be full of challenges with a rigorous curriculum. Also tuition is exorbitant! His commute between home and campus is not great. I will start with a three star post with a bonus one for pandemic challenges. A future updated post will be made depending on the his personal journey. In the meantime this parent and UW-Seattle grad will celebrate his start at DigiPen, go Dragons!

I enjoyed visiting as a teenager for a camp event and I was able to design my own game. It was very fun. I visited in 2009.
