First driving lesson went well - I can't say that the instructor's car was clean or pleasant, but…read moreit had wheels and the breaks worked - fair enough, right? However, the second lesson didn't go well at all. As soon as I sat down behind the wheel, he gave me a direction to drive in, and then immediately dialed into a phone call, hung up, dialed in again.. answered calls - he had me out on the road, going in a direction I wasn't familiar with, at traffic speed (between 45 and 55 mph). This was a shock to me but probably would have been fine - however he was taking calls the whole time. His cell phone would startle me every time it rang, and his conversation was distracting. He did this even though I repeatedly told him it was making me uncomfortable. This kind of behaviour continued until I finally pulled up to a curb and told him I didn't want him to take any more phonecalls (mind you, this was 1 hour into the lesson, and at least 6-8 calls later!) and that we were going to cut the lesson short, and drive home. I didn't know where we were, but once we finally arrived in my neighbourhood I was about to take a familiar turn en route home when he SCREAMED 'NO KEEP GOING STRAIGHT!!' I got the fright of my life and thought I was about to crash into something - turns out he had single-handedly made the decision that 'we were going to go keep driving'. Yeah, right. That's when he turned snappy and rude, as if it was my fault we were going back? I told him that if I say we're going home, we ARE going home - and I didn't appreciate him making decisions otherwise. When we arrived at my house, he said 'next time I'll turn the sound on my phone off'. Needless to say, I promptly let him know that there wouldn't be a next time.

My instructor, John Yeung, was uninvolved and blatantly said "All I have to do is sit here and have my students go straight. It's easy money."I was disappointed that he would show such a low level of care when driving is not a joking matter. I would recommend going here if you are looking to just get your six hours in, but If you would actually like to learn something I suggest you go elsewhere.

Our child has been going to Mathnasium Milpitas for about five years, starting in primary school…read more We began onsite and switched to online a couple of years ago. The flexibility has been a real plus -- you can move between onsite and online anytime, and they've been very accommodating with last-minute rescheduling and pausing during vacation. Their approach: they assess your child's actual level, follow the California curriculum, and won't advance to a new topic until the current one is mastered. That cuts both ways. It can get repetitive and boring for the child at times. We raised this with the center and they worked with the child on it. The big upside is that gaps don't get papered over. Worth mentioning: they don't assign homework. All the work happens in-session, so it doesn't add to the pile your child is already carrying from school. Every kid has their own way of learning, their own preferred subjects, and their own motivation. Mine has not expressed much love for math -- but the grades ended up being A's, and I believe Mathnasium contributed to that. It's not the only factor, of course there are very important ones: daily parent support with school homework and test prep. For a while it felt like my child was going backwards, working on older topics while school has moved on. The Mathnasium team has been responsive whenever we've had questions. Choosing an after-school math academy wasn't an easy decision. It's a long-term commitment of both time and money, and we struggled with it. Sharing our experience in case it helps other parents weighing the same choice. Recommended -- as long as you understand the method and aren't expecting overnight results.

Someone in my class did get kicked from the class, but I can say with 100% certainty, they were just trying to keep the rider safe and the rest of us safe. With that being said, I do recommend getting a little bit of time on a bike before going to the class is it's possible for you. But if not, the course is designed for beginners, so don't worry. Again, Mike and Mycah are AWESOME at what they do! I will most likely be signing up for the advanced course eventually. -Matt

**Repost from Google**…read more Just got done with the beginner course, so here are my fresh thoughts. First, I'm not sure if this applies to every class scheduled here, but the class I took was scheduled to start before the dealership opened. Our instructors mentioned that not only does the state mandate that students be on time, but so does the dealership. As such, don't expect much if any leeway when it comes to starting times. The instructors gave us a fair bit of grace on little things throughout the course, so this doesn't reflect on them at all. It's just the reality of the business structure. Be on time or risk losing your money. Second, I want to mention a major concern I had going into the course. The minimum recommended height for this location was 5'4" because of the bikes used. I'm a stocky 5'4" male with a relatively short inseam. I find most non-cruisers to be tall and intimidating. I would've taken the course at the other Golden State Moto location, but their classroom sessions are done over Zoom, followed by a short break and then range time. For personal scheduling reasons, I didn't want to risk arriving late to the range, so I much preferred the in-person format at this Harley-Davidson location. However, that came with using the bigger bikes. I'm happy to report that I was just fine on them. I couldn't flat-foot the bikes, but I wasn't completely tippy-toed either. Being overweight actually helped for once, because my body compressed the suspension enough for it to be perfectly comfortable. If you're shorter than 5'4" or perhaps really light, you may seriously want to consider the other location. However, I think whoever settled on that 5'4" recommendation really nailed it. As for the course, it was better than I could have imagined. Specifically, our instructors, Prema and Tony, were outstanding. Have you ever thought to yourself, "Wow, this person is clearly in the right field"? Well, I thought that countless times throughout the course. These guys do not phone it in, and they have eyes like hawks. They were so good at deconstructing what felt to me were pretty complex scenarios. I would often take a stab at an exercise, feel a little off doing it, and not quite understand the precise things that went into making it happen that way. As I then pulled up to the instructors, they would point out several key little details they noticed, often from impressive distances or angles. Every single time, I would think back to what I did and immediately recognize their feedback was 100% spot on. I don't know how they do it, but if you're willing to really soak up the feedback, they will absolutely improve your riding tremendously, especially as a complete beginner. I think our class was entirely beginners, and everyone improved tremendously throughout the 2 days. I also really appreciated how much of a dynamic duo our instructors were. Tony's a bit older with more dirt and trail experience, while Prema is younger with more track experience. It was super helpful to get feedback from both of them because they offered different perspectives, but what they both had in common were the fundamentals that the Total Control program really emphasizes. If you're really anxious about getting lots of detailed feedback and being pushed out of your comfort zone, this class might not be ideal for you, but then again, riding demands a lot from people, and the asphalt won't coddle you. I'll close out by saying that I was honestly a bit surprised by the learning curve of riding a motorcycle. Sure, you can scrape by, get your license, and immediately fly down the highway on a liter bike. But if I'm being honest, this still feels like just the beginning. I passed and still wouldn't feel comfortable fully committing to street riding without additional parking lot practice. As a father of a young child, I care very much about safety, so I hope everyone will be realistic in their expectations of how much can be learned from just 2 days in a parking lot.

Spangler was also the person who helped bring modern sewers and clean water to Milpitas in the 1940s. Serving mainly the children in Starlite Manor and Milpitas Manor developments, it sits on a ten acre site near Starlite Park, the first neighborhood park in Milpitas. It is a K-6 school. All the kids in our family went here. Recently a lot has changed here with photo-voltaic panels over the parking area and lunch area. More portable classrooms are on the campus to house the over 600 students. The academic program is average for Milpitas. Their API scores are improving each year. Alas, there is little money to support music, drama, art, etc. This was the last of the district's elementary schools to approve wearing uniforms, so the nearby community probably has more independent thinkers than other schools may have. Spangler feeds to Thomas Russell Middle School.

So when my report card came home my mom was totally furious and thought I was skipping. Until after summer ended and she finally believed me -_- TRMS needs to work on that one. Anyway, I liked being active in school so it was pretty fun being in ASB and making new friends. The dances were always fun and safe. I remember back in the day when we used to sell glowsticks at dances, candy grams, etc. Haha, good times! Any school that's safe with a decent list of caring teachers is OK in my book.
