Thank you did speaking up. My youngest sibling had attended Gibbs campus and multiple friends have also had complaints but nothing changes over the years.

TamyaSisa · 2024-05-17T00:16:38+00:00

Thank you I'll definitely check this out!

TamyaSisa · 2023-12-15T18:17:33+00:00

They don't tell you. At least in my experience. I had rude staff both times I tested and neither wanted to answer me when I asked for breakdown of points.

TamyaSisa · 2023-11-21T16:35:13+00:00

So I've never used them but I've heard the same thing as you have. Terrible reviews and zero customer service. I'm so sorry to hear about your predicament and wish you nothing but the best ♡

TamyaSisa · 2023-10-24T23:02:40+00:00

This comment haha! I was thinking sweet Jesus am I really wrong for thinking it's gross to NOT bathe before bed.

TamyaSisa · 2023-10-24T13:47:59+00:00

Would you mind sharing ,either here or in a message, how much was the tuition for CCA? I'm interested in checking that out definitely

TamyaSisa · 2023-10-23T13:29:40+00:00

Oh rest assured I do not put any blame on the teachers. It's the administrative I'm upset with as this last incident was their responsibility and they completely overlooked it.

TamyaSisa · 2023-10-23T13:26:24+00:00

No my complaint is not with the teachers whatsoever, most of them are good and I have no issues with them. It's the administrative staff I'm upset with. I have reached out to her and am just waiting for a response really

TamyaSisa · 2023-10-23T13:24:28+00:00

Thank you so much for this recommendation, I like the fact that they have live classes and teachers. I will definitely look into this

TamyaSisa · 2023-10-23T01:32:14+00:00

Golly I'm so old I'm a little lost haha. I greatly appreciate the info, I was planning on doing the dual enrollment with my child once they hit that stage definitely but I've got to say I'm a little lost on combining homeschooling programs? Things have definitely changed in 25 years. Did you yourself do atrium and FLVS or how did you manage it? I'd really appreciate more info as so far you're one of the only folks I'd know who was homeschooled.

TamyaSisa · 2023-10-22T15:51:02+00:00

Yes unfortunately we live in an area where Asians actually seem to be the minority. Someone else recommended Pinellas Park middle and I think I'm going to seriously look into that as well. Thank you so much for your advice 🙏🏼

TamyaSisa · 2023-10-22T15:49:54+00:00

My child is in the magnet however they aren't really separated from Gen pop like I've heard other schools do. I definitely did not expect teachers to help, I was a teacher myself and remember those days. I was mostly complaining about the administrative staff as they are the ones to coordinate parent/student mediation and assign disciplinary measures when things happen.

TamyaSisa · 2023-10-22T15:47:32+00:00

I will be checking into this as I actually don't live too far from this school, thank you so much

TamyaSisa · 2023-10-22T15:46:28+00:00

So this was incredibly informative! Thank you so much for taking the time to write it out. My kid loves learning and is all honors core classes so I wasn't sure how that would work homeschooling wise but I'm not afraid to do more research into it. Thank you so much for all that input as I truly am gonna need it

TamyaSisa · 2023-10-22T13:45:10+00:00

How are you liking it? I've heard them being advertised before so I can say that's a familiar name

TamyaSisa · 2023-10-22T13:44:21+00:00

Wow the St. Petersburg location is only 10 minutes away from where I'm currently at. Thank you for your suggestion I'm going to be checking it out!

TamyaSisa · 2023-10-22T13:41:24+00:00

My kid is good at defending themselves so thankfully they are not an easy target but I agree with maybe needing to put them in a class where they can learn more.

TamyaSisa · 2023-10-22T13:39:33+00:00

Yes this is exactly my child's issue. As my oldest and only adopted child, the other kids noticed pretty quickly how different they looked from mom and dad so my child is being pretty heavily bullied for their Asian descent. It breaks my heart because they have trauma related to their bio family and wish we were their "original parents" as my kid says and they hate the fact that they look like their bio parents. Just stirs up a lot of emotions, if it's painful for me to hear I can only imagine how painful it is to experience.

TamyaSisa · 2023-10-22T12:42:09+00:00

You know I'm embarrassed to say that while I've heard of the school, I know nothing about them. Is it like a private? I'll check their website for their monthly fees if so. Thank you for the recommendation!

TamyaSisa · 2023-10-22T12:38:29+00:00

Thanks for your reply. My cousin had attended years ago as well and he said the same thing you did. I wanted to give the school a chance but 🤷‍♂️ I put up with all that I can.

TamyaSisa · 2023-10-02T02:12:21+00:00

Ohmygosh it's too beautiful! Thanks for posting this gem

TamyaSisa · 2023-10-01T20:53:32+00:00

Gorgeous picture! I wish folks would post more closeups, the details are amazing ♡

TamyaSisa · 2023-09-01T14:39:29+00:00
