Harlem Heights

I overheard an assistant principal tell a colleague regarding students with special needs, "Do we have to have THEM here, too?"

My daughter first year at Cranium Academy and she is loving it and the teachers and the staff is so kind and does a wonderful job.

This school applies collective punishment. Doesn’t matter if your kid is following the rules, if some of the classmates are not your kid will be punished, specially at lunch time, ask about the red cup system. This completely destroyed the mental model of my kids on how to behave. Instead of seeing peers as potential friends, they became potential problems. No nurturing friendship can be made in this type of environment. Exactly the opposite happens, kids pit against each other and the bullying starts. Student of the month is just a popularity context, no hard work or achievement acknowledgment.

It’s an all based about your grades and it’s really much favoritism, and if you have bad grades, they will be so rude to you. If I’m gonna be honest with you in the school is, it’s OK but it’s not bad. It’s not good.
