My child was a student at the Gulen Harmony Science Academy School in Texas, we served on the Parent Association and were involved with many fundraisers. Gulen Charter School- We were very dedicated to this group until we realized there was more to these schools than just "education". Our posts are from actual news sources and government data such as IRS tax returns, H1-B Visa information and other documentation.
I think it is a good school to go even though there was this insident. Everyone is smart enough not to believe in this news. Today's media just giving news not even looking what really happened actually. Please talk to someon from school and then you will believe this is overall fraud news.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your opinion. But anyone that spells "incident" the way you do is not in a position to state or quantify why they "think this is a good school"
ReplyDeleteCheating on tests, hiring sexual perverts, mismanagement of special need student funds, bringing guns to school, etc., etc., and you think "it's a good school"
Good luck. NY Times, USA Today, and "60 Minutes" are all "fraud news" We cite credible news stories not crap from Gulencis "Today Zaman"
You need to open your eyes and see what is truth and what is propaganda from the Gulen Media Machine.
It isn't working.
Additional reasons the question if its a good school: serving raw/spoiled/molded foods; enrolling students in high level or AP classes to get the higher state funding-but only teaching them regular level work - and then they do poorly on the state test of the higher level work. "we know, you haven't seen this stuff before, but its ok we'll get it worked out" is no longer an excuse -when its the kids time and life that has been wasted. Oh, and constantly yelling at the children...as a sub an former teacher - low and firm voice got me better CONSISTENT results. Yells get the attention for the moment only.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments about the food served at the schools. We find this interesting as the Gulen Movement is all about "self-serving" interests and their GROUP members are usually the ones that are awarded the contracts for catering, janitorial work, contracting, video, teaching, etc.,
ReplyDeleteThis issue of spoiled and bad food should be reported to the Texas School Board and to the Texas Charter Association. As it sits they have been getting away with a lot in Texas because there is no resources to monitor them. However, as you may know there have been several issues regarding the teaching of special needs children and other problems.
