Open Quote 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.
Recuerdo un tardy que le puso la directora de Operaciones a mi esposa a los gritos. Es una señora detestable, mal aprendida, la he saludado varias veces, ha bajado la vista sin responder al saludo. Si no saluda a un adulto y le grita a un adulto, imagínense el amor que puede tener por los niños. Hay gente que definitivamente debería trabajar en una fábrica y no tener la obligación de ver gente, y mucho menos cuando se trata de educar, de dar el ejemplo, de ser un modelo a seguir.
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.
Cualquier duda o consulta me encuentran todas las redes sociales con mi nombre y apellido. Sinceramente espero que, a la hora de elegir, piensen en que sus hijos pasan mas horas dentro del colegio que en vuestra propia casa.
Atte.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
