[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Linder upper school is finishing the year as still a mess.  The accreditation was pushed through by the former assistant principal but the accreditation team [b]never came in person to inspect or visit the campus[/b]. The owner picked an accreditations agency that accepted videos, and the words of staff. [b]Never came to see the students[/b].

Untrue.[/quote]

We are a current family and this is totally true!!!  The now fired head of school (HOS) and curriculum director spent the entire accreditation review time in virtual meetings.  Notes were posted on their doors during this time that kids had to stay away from the admin people (2j so the admin could focus on the accreditation meetings.  The HOS ran around the school filming videos in the week before those meetings.

Not a soul from the accreditation agency ever stepped foot on campus, live during a school day.

Never got to see the classroom behavioral chaos, the fights, arguments and bullying.

The school has a partnership with an ABA group and regularly insists kids have their own individual babysitters to travel around with them all day. And even the ABA aides frequently do nothing to tamp down misbehaviors. So a kid melts down and instead of the kid being pulled out to calm down with the aid, the entire class teaching time is negatively affected. Never got seen.

Accreditation agencies never got to see that the science exams were based on a series of 40 questions per test, all year, where the kids were given the answers in the advance, told they could take notes to use during the test. So basically to succeed you copied all 40 questions and answers on a cheat sheet and you were allowed to bring it to the test. If you did this you succeeded. Any real Homework also vanished because the kids never did it and grades needed to be brought back up.

So yes, as a poster said too, school is a hot mess.[/quote]
