[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s the thing about ASFS. It is a very tight ship. But for my kid, he’s had kind and nurturing and he fell through the cracks. He enjoyed school more, but no one ever made sure he was doing his work and intervening when he was not. The principal at ASFS does not let kids fall through the cracks and they learn stuff. I would call it a more old fashioned kind of school. [/quote]

Do they also make sure the social emotional needs are met and fostered? That's my kid's weakness so where I'm more concerned.[/quote]

Ha no, ASFS is old school, with homework, more discipline, etc. way less modern touchy geeky things like this. It’s on the parents to handle social and emotional. Do you IEP?[/quote]
This isn’t true.  In the past 5-6 years, the culture at Asfs really shifted.  There is a big emphasis on sel and the counselor is very tuned into individual kids needs.  My kid had emotional/anxiety issues the year before covid, and the counselor was already aware when I contacted them to discuss options.  They made many accommodations without any sort of iep/etc.  Other parents had similar experiences.  The counselor retired last year, but I don’t think it’s different sel wise than other schools.  More homework yes.  Uncaring no.[/quote]

Ms Hawthorne retired? Oh no. Oh no. Oh no no no[/quote]
