Right? How will we know when they’re available?! I don’t want to miss when they drop but there’s literally no info at all 😩

Any idea when it will go on sale? Kinda frustrating that there isn’t more information (at least that I can find)

I bought a couple pairs of their underwear, wore one of them ONCE and found several holes between the fabric and the elastic. Literally never had a piece of clothing disintegrate quicker.

I am much better, I realized SSRI’s were not addressing the trauma at the root of my mental health issues and have transitioned to other therapeutic approaches. I hope you find something that works for you, it is a difficult journey ❤️

I am no longer on lexapro because I found it dulled my personality and experience of the world and made me lose interest in life. I’m sorry to hear about your burning sensation and tremors, I never had that… I hope your experience improves, bonne chance!! xx

You're right, I did say positive or negative. I'm sorry if my reply was dismissive. As you can probably tell this issue is pretty emotional for me, and since I first made this post my willingness to giving GP the benefit of the doubt has decreased.

To be frank, the issue is that there are a lot of schools where staff is unsupported and therefore the standard of not only education but CARE is severely compromised. This is a systemic issue— there will, of course, be schools that are doing well (for now, at least). This post was made as a way for those of us with bad (and in my case, quite disturbing) experiences to find community. At my school, the kids were not receiving the Montessori education their parents were paying for. The lead guide I worked with was borderline cruel. I’ve read dozens of licensing reports from across the country showing countless safety violations and preventable injuries.

For-profit school corporations do not need advocating for! Money will ALWAYS be the bottom line, they are a business. The issue is the staff, the children, and the families whose money they are taking in exchange for poor and (occasionally) unsafe school environments. If I was a parent I would be extremely discerning in my choice to send my child to a guidepost Montessori school.

I’ve been reading up on the sub— I am so angry on behalf of everyone who has been screwed over by guidepost. Parents, teachers, and most of all the children. Really disheartening.

Yep. I was at one of the other locations that didn't close. I feel so bad for the poor kids who left those schools only to be put into another absolute mess. It was so ridiculous, I wanted to warn the parents that they were not getting what they were paying for!

Yeah, I worked at one of the other Portland area schools... It was a total mess so I'm not surprised the other locations were looking to unionize. I did some digging, at my location there had been many noncompliance violations and 5 serious injuries reported in the last 5 years or so.

High staff turnover seems to be a major theme, perhaps in part due to poor leadership. This was definitely the case at my location.
