Como bien decimos en Argentina; “no se queje si no se queja”Cuando recibimos la noticia de que nuestro hijo había salido sorteado en la lotería de Franklin y de acuerdo con el ranking de la institución nos alegramos mucho. Estábamos muy entusiasmados con el colegio, con el ranking y con lo que se veía de afuera.Sinceramente hemos tenido una experiencia desastrosa en Franklin por diferentes razones, mi hijo tiene un retraso en el lenguaje, speech delay, speech language impairment, o en español trastorno especifico del lenguaje. Solamente en Franklin confeccionaron un programa 504 que nada tiene que ver con su problema del leguaje. Nos hemos sentido en todo momento totalmente desamparados, sin seguimiento, sin apoyo y con el agravante de ver salir a nuestro hijo triste cada jornada. Siempre un problema distinto, que un compañero lo molestaba, que le pegaban, lo empujaban y se golpeaba, se reían de él, no querían jugar con él, etc. Todos los días viendo a nuestro hijo salir triste del establecimiento y sin que medie ninguna sanción para ninguno de los alumnos o pedirle a nuestro hijo que hiciera algo distinto. Al momento de comunicar que decidimos retirar a nuestro hijo del colegio, a los cinco minutos me llego un correo para que firme la salida. ¿Estaban esperando que tomáramos la decisión? Sera cierto que los charters no quieren problemas con chicos que tienen dificultad? ¿Esto puede perjudicarlos en el ranking? Son preguntas sin respuesta, pero espero que quien lea se las haga antes de aceptar la propuesta de esta institución. Completamos la salida en tiempo récord, nadie se ha comunicado con nosotros para debatir la razón. Algunas de las razones que he mencionado, falta de empatía, falta de acomodaciones especiales con respecto al lenguaje, varias situaciones de bullying, falta de flexibilidad para facilitarnos cualquier pedido, falta de cuidado, falta de calidez humana, falta de comunicación relevante, falta de seguimiento de la evolución de los alumnos. Franklin se jacta de buena comunicación y llevan el Inbox o sms con sorteos, donaciones, etc. Pero cuando se trata de algo importante no lo comunican. Son desorganizados, burocráticos e inflexibles.En pocas palabras, no recomiendo al colegio, ni la curricula académica, ni la calidad humana. De hecho, carecen de calidad humana, de hospitalidad, de cariño, amor, vocación, pasión, etc. Ezequiel Aiello

This is an school that I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND to anyone. The lack of professionalism, ethic, values, morals and integrity are horrible.They don't care about the students, they only care about their system.Teachers are rude, mean and disrespectful with parents and kids.If you want a school that really knows the value of education, integrity and loyalty , Do not bring your kid here.

The teachers put books in your face and tell you to just write from them. The teachers are disrespectful even embarrassing students by bringing them to the front of the class and screaming at them. The principal allows the teachers to do these harsh disciplinary actions. They treat us like this to get us ready for “our job” and I’m pretty sure they think we are all going to have an office job. All jobs are different, and they are limiting students abilities, by making them sit straight and tuck their shirts in and be quiet and if your good, you pass off with no embarrassing or harsh disciplinary actions. It’s truly saddening how I’ve seen students who are very obviously misunderstood get treated like they are zoo animals. The education sucks, and the rules that they have (which they say is to keep us safe but really just don’t trust us) that are insanely strict cause students to want to go to less strict public schools. They don’t trust us, and so they impose these crazy rules and disciplinary actions on us, and expect us to trust them. It’s truly harmful to a students still forming brain. School is a place where you learn about yourself and your future, but they see it as a place you go to learn how to be good to get raises because to put it simply, that’s how they see things with their job. They follow the rules and make their boss happy and they get more money. That is such a bad mindset to portray onto students/children. I truly do not see myself graduating at this school, because if I did, I would feel like I missed out on the true high school experience. Something needs to change, and if nothing does, I will be apart of the vast majority of students that will be transferring to another public school.

My child has had a great experience at Franklin Academy. She's had excellent teachers that really care and her performance. The school offers great online resources for at home practice, it is even available to them over the summer. They have several events where families are invited which gives a great opportunity to meet other students, parents and faculty. Overall, my daughter loves the school!
