Be prepared for you're childs tears and disappoint...

Be prepared for you're childs tears and disappointment if YOU (the parents) don't live up to their elite standards. This academy is not about harvesting talent and dreams in your child, rather what you are willing to contribute. It can really be a devestating realization for the talented, and for those who watch the inequality... Nobody wants their kid to finish first just because they give or have more...
Go somewhere that encourages students to be the best, because, they are the best! Not because their contributions put them in first place. This place is about the almighty dollar, no matter how much talent, love for the art your child has, or how much you volunteer your time and advocate, its a selfish-run place that will kill your childs love for the performing arts.
