[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another parent here. 
Interesting thread, I have been feeling not so great about the school this year. 
When I pick up my kid, she often will say "oh we had a new teacher today because XX is away", "we got out early because xx had to leave".
It seems that they are using upper level students as subs.
Oh but there are endless emails telling us to sign up for private lessons at $75 or $100 an hour on top of the 13-15 hour a week of classes and I won't even say how much we already pay. 
And the hard sell for summer intensive-hours and hours each day on pointe-thousands of dollars more. 
So wish my kid would quit this insanity. [/quote]

Another parent here and I agree with everything you’ve written. Has not left a good taste in my mouth. And this year my DD’s class had too many substitute teachers, also.

Summer intensive at TWSB is a huge joke. They have a company member teaching ballet class for 5 hours. Such a waste of money. My DD did not improve at all after their intensive. It’s all another way to get your money. It seems they don’t care about the students at all. The performances are a joke as they only highlight their PTP A students and fundraise for their “scholarship fund” which isn’t inner city kids, but white kids in PTP A.

Too many red flags were visible this year. Their imperfections under new leadership are no longer hidden but at the surface for all to see. Very disheartening
