Ive been very happy as a new scholar parent at hudson yards. Compared to public school school is very organized and structured, all for scholars' benefit and the serious business of their learning. All teacher s have good to excellent class presence. Read the SA glassdoor complaints and I see they weed out personalities that shouldn't be teachers.. Sorry, but some folks lack certain stage presence, (like me) so they just don't make good teachers, to detriment of an entire class of children and themselves. Nothing magical about SAs stellar results, they put in the time and effort. No one is allowed to just fall behind. Kids that don't test to standard are given extra instruction for both them and their family. So no kids gets left behind (unlike my public school). The network chooses and develops best results teaching methods - not those that sound the best to certain parents. And as other parents warn me before I picked SA, it is the best school for those families who accept SA philosophy and methods and the work required. If you don't like it please go to another school. The school isn't going to change itself into just another public school, and it shouldn't, with its excellent results to back up its policies.

Btw because of remote learning I am sitting in class as much as my child. So I see how my child Is being taught and how the teachers interact with the kids. The mix of discipline and correction and nurturing feels well balanced.
