GBMe and my kids have had the most worst… Me and my kids have had the most worst experience at one of the NHA schools. I'm really tired of trying to be heard and understood by these unprofessional adults working at Advantage Charter Academy, Baker, La They do not try to solve problems, they try to sweep things under the rug, and act as if your issue with the school doesn't matter. Most of the adults are bullies and manipulate these kids. I do not send my kids to school to be intimidated, bullied or manipulated by no grown adults with no self control. These adults use foul language, when talking to and at the kids. I don't even use profanity when speaking to my kids so no one else should either. I don't teach my kids about personal boundaries, only to send them to a school that will violate them. (Boundaries) I've let things slide with this school, but not this time. I'm tired of these suppose to be adults jumping in my kids face and nothing is being done about it! This not the first incident, but this is what I'm trying to get resolved now. My daughter told Me a lady name Ms.Gorge got in her face and said "MOVE LITTLE GIRL" when my daughter began to move she then begins to push my child and tell her to hurry up she's not moving fast enough. I been trying to handle this situation properly since it happen. The way the school is ignoring the problem puts me at great discomfort wondering what else is going on inside that school. I really feel like they want you to go crazy and act ill mannered for their enjoyment. Some of those adults don't need to be no where around kids!!! The way my son begged me to drop him from that school worries me for the students there. The whole school needs to be under investigation. The principal is a joke!

GBAverage Education Don't feel safe driving to and from school... The school needs to have more safety signs, signal anything that help promote safety!!! SAFETY should be the schools number one goal.

GBBad bad bad Bad bad bad. Chandler Woods in MI Class sizes fill to 30+ per class with one teacher. PE is 60 kids: 1 adult. Recess is only once per day through winter months and recess is 250kids: 2-3 staff. Parents are gaslit to cover purposeful understaffing and underspending and kids are made to feel bad about normal behaviors because teachers are overworked. If your kid struggles they must fail to get any personal attention, and once their grade is above fail they get no help until failing again. I pulled one child and am ready to pull the second. If you have any complaint to NHA corporate you are deflected through parent relations. School deflects to NHA and NHA deflects to school. There is no parent power at all unless it is to enable NHA making money off your volunteering and child’s attendance. Surrounding districts spend thousands more per student with many more opportunities, resources and transparency. Do NOT attend an NHA school. Its a scam

GBWestfield Charter Academy /NHA/Failed my daughter My daughter is in the Kindergarten class at Westfield in Redford and this has been absolutely by far the worst Kindergarten experience ever out of 3 kids my daughter Teacher is just now telling me my daughter is only able to recognize 3 numbers as of may 14th 2021 this is unbelievable!! When were you going to me this because the last time i spoke with her Teacher everything was fine, great now you want to retain her im pissed because when did u realize this ?? She never sent homework home so i just assumed she was doing well in school because no one reached out to me other wise to say different she can't recognize some of her letters like really what is going on and why are you just telling me this in April at the end of the school year ?when I spoke with her Teacher over a google meeting in March she told me she was doing good and on the right track!! This Teacher and whoever is covering for her needs to be held accountable!! And not my daughter because she has a Teacher who don't have any experience i need answers and help i am not letting this go at all !!!and why is my daughter being tested without any review?? On what she is being tested for and why was i not informed that the teacher was doing a test ? So i could help prepare her And my daughter was just getting back after being gone for a week of school because she had surgery then you test her the week she is just getting back? Why?? A set up for failure and then I ask well can you send a homework packet for her while she is out for the week so it won't affect her grade she said yes then after she decided she was not going to move her up to first grade i said why don't you send homework home it might have actually helped her out but her response was That's why I have Google classroom up lady really you could have sent homework home but she didn't i need answers and help asap! This is ridiculous and now im force to send her to summer school and teach her myself i don't mind at all teaching my daughter but when i send her to school everyday i expect the Teacher to do something and not fail her!!
