[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When FLEX comes into a school, they email all the current activity providers and tell them that they need to contract with FLEX in order to continue offering classes at the school. Then they take the price of the vendor's class and add their fees on top of it. So a cooking class that used to cost $135 at your school now costs $200 for the exact same class taught by the exact same instructors who were doing it before. Plus FLEX requires a parent or teacher coordinator available on-site, so it actually creates more work for a parent or teacher even though they claim it is less. I don't understand why PTAs do this or why more parents don't complain. Parents are the ones who subsidize this business model. [/quote] Good to know this. I will keep eye on our school to make sure we don't end up with FLEX.[/quote]
