[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want your kid to get really good training at a basketball Academy you are better off going to Gillion Academy in Springfield or Bethel Academy in Manassas. Gillon trains 4 hours a day and is very serious on the academic side. They even have live teaching days, SJA does not have any of that and they train for less time, but charge more than twice as much.[/quote]

No decent teacher or parent would consider Gillion (not "Gillon" as you spelled it in that sentence) to be "very serious on the academic side."[/quote]

One, GILLION was spelled correctly and then there was a typo in the second instance. I am really happy that we have someone who apparently is perfect on this thread and doesn’t understand the possibility of typos, even when GILLION was spelled correctly in the same paragraph.

Two, GILLION just hired a writing program director. I can assure you SJA, does not have that position.

Third, it doesn’t make any sense to compare GILLION to Sidwell, or any Academy to a traditional school. They are not the same and do not claim to be the same. However, GILLION IS more serious that SJA in regards to academics. SJA utilizes free public virtual school, but provides zero in person academic offerings. The “teachers” just roam around and give help where needed and tell the kids to be quiet, which is pretty much nonstop.[/quote]

One, yes, you are correct, you spelled it wrong he second time. 
Two, my initial comment still stands, no decent teacher or parent would consider Gillion (not "Gillon" as you spelled it in that sentence) to be "very serious on the academic side." It is simply less of a joke academically than the St. James. 
Three (not third as you wrote it), you are actually correct - it doesn’t make any sense to compare Gillion to Sidwell, or any Academy to a traditional school as it is a joke. 
Four, there appears to be something wrong with your caps lock key. It is either that, or, like a child, you choose to write in all caps for emphasis. [/quote]
