[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can vouch for the fact that many of the teachers are nysmith do not have degrees. And they have no business having anything to do with children! It’s a very dangerous place to send your kid. I will always have guilt over sending my children there even though it was a short period of time.[/quote]

This is a ridiculous take. Every teacher at Nysmith has a degree. Some, not all, have teaching certifications, but having a teaching certification is immaterial to the question of whether or not one is a good teacher.

Nysmith has historically exceptional retention rates among both students and staff and a damn near spotless record for its nearly 40 year history. This is a troubling episode, to be sure, but let’s not pretend as though it’s somehow dangerous when [b]you have literally tens of thousands of satisfied customers[/b] over their history whose kids have gone on to incredible outcomes.

And yes, middle schoolers are old enough to learn about the Holocaust at a surface level and do projects that force them to learn about terrible people. It’s part of how they hopefully learn not to be terrible people themselves.[/quote]

Satisfied customers?  That you, Ken?[/quote]
