Hubby has been wanting to take sailing lessons for a long time, and after our youngest expressed an…read moreinterest in either the Naval or Coast Guard Academy, he was even more motivated. His research led us to North Texas Sailing School on Lake Ray Hubbard. We took both the Beginning and Intermediate sailing classes together, which meant one Thursday night 3 hour classroom based class and then two weekends on the boats-both weekends included 6 hours on Saturday and 3 hours on Sunday-ending with testing on the last Sunday to earn your ASA 101 certification. The classes also included lunch and after sailing drinks on Saturday, but nothing on Sunday. Being Texas in July, we had a variety of sailing conditions over the two weekends, from strong winds to dead calm, although all of it was HOT. The school gives you time on the boats with at least 3 different instructors, so you get to learn different styles/techniques for the same skills. All the instructors were great and it allows for a lot of individual time at the helm, as well as learning by watching others. That said...the boats are 22 foot wooden J22s and they are uncomfortable!! And there is no shade, so had to slather up the sun screen like crazy. The Saturdays made for really long days and I was more than done by the end of them. Not sure how they could have broken it up differently since you need a certain amount of time on the boat, but the 6 hour days were brutal! Once you are certified, you can come back and join the racing on Wednesday nights and/or Alumni sails on Sunday afternoons. I would recommend NTSS, and we might even be taking a Coastal Cruising class with them in the future.

Our "on the water" instructors did a great job of patiently guiding a group of complete novices during the ASA 101 course, and by the end of the weekend we were comfortable operating the boats. I am so glad I was able to learn here, I feel confident in the skills I have gained so far and excited to continue my education.

And my next appointment would have been a 3rd. Simple because either the student left or kept being unavailable for personal reasons. Well not anymore. After having gone to the school numerous times without a single issue. Now they no longer work with males. So with having a scheduled appointment I was called and told we will not work with you anymore unless you know your specific stylus. Well I've been bounced around so much and the person who I was scheduled with left I don't know anyone. But apparently within the hour they made a sexist discriminatory rule to no longer work with males. Now I received the first call from a receptionist and asked for a call back from an actual person who can answer legitimate questions. The person who called me back didn't do that. I have a right to be upset. What ended up happening is the beyond rude person who contacted me back refused to admit the new practice was both sexist and discriminatory. Basically said you don't like it go somewhere else. Took the stance on we have the right to refuse service to anyone. And that is true and that's fine. But the reality you are limiting the students the ones you're actually trying to teach. I've don't nothing wrong in anyway shape or form. I don't know why this has come about but the way this was handled was beyond unprofessional. As a paying customer. Due to the numerous rescheduling I've allowed. ( today was the first time I had to reschedule ) It is better I go somewhere else. Now for those who plan on going to this school. Be cautious. It is apparent your teachings will be limited. This review will be posted in as many places as possible. I am determined to make others aware of the complete disrespect I experienced for no reason from this establishment.

The teachers and administrators at this school are really something. At orientation tour, I…read moreinformed Ms Ross, the director at the Fulton School that our daughter is on the high functioning autism spectrum. She took one look at my child and dismissed her diagnosis with "Oh she looks fine" and offered no accommodations. They then proceeded to place my daughter in the back of the classroom. I tried to convince myself things would turn out ok and went about my busy life. One day I received a message from Ms Jackman, the kindergarten teacher, that my child had wet herself by accident (she's not done that before or since). My daughter came home and told me Ms Jackman's daughter (who is also in her class) cut in front of her in the bathroom line. No big deal, just kids, I told myself. One week passed before Ms Jackman texted me again this time saying my child threw rocks at another child. My daughter said the other kid threw rocks at her first. I scolded her and told her never to throw rocks at other children and to tell the teacher instead. The following day my daughter's right eye started looking red and swollen. I felt bad for not believing her version of events and decided to keep her home to rest and tried to book an eye appointment for her. Shortly after, the teacher informed me my child threw chicken nugget at another teacher because the room was too loud (suddenly they remembered she has autism and sensory challenges). My child told me a boy in her class made fun of her for coughing (we're Asian American) and told her to "cover your mouth". She got upset and threw chicken nugget at him, missed, and hit the teacher. Again, I scolded her and told her this is not acceptable behavior. Because my daughter's autistic and very concrete, I explained to her due to COVID and us being Asian American, kids will be cruel sometimes. Concerned, I requested a meeting with Ms Jackman and Ms Ross to clarify discrepancies in accounts and to make sure things are ok at school. I mentioned someone tried to cut in front of my child in the bathroom line (didn't mention it was the teacher's daughter, in case the teacher didn't know what happened). Ms Jackman flat out denied it and said this did not happen. I then showed them pictures of my daughter's swollen right eye and Ms Jackman became defensive and insisted my child was lying and that it was the rocks bouncing back that hit her in the eye ( Really?! ) I offered the possibility of my child being bullied as reason for her getting upset and throwing chicken nugget. They said she has autism and threw chicken nuggets because the room was too loud and that I need to teach my daughter some manners. I informed them they can't randomly assign blame then use autism as an excuse whenever it fits their narrative. The meeting ended with them trying to gaslight me telling me that I was making false assumptions / allegations and that I need mental health help. Not sure where they get the qualifications to give me mental health advice when I did not offer mine (I am a psychiatrist). Couple weeks later, at our daughter's kindergarten graduation, Ms Ross purposely dropped my child's cap and left her without a cap while moving on to other children after seeing (and verbally acknowledging) that her cap had fallen. My daughter looked confused and hurt. Ms Ross then tried to push my daughter aside to put caps on other children. This pretty much ruined graduation for us. After graduation ceremony, Ms Ross came up to us and instead of saying "Congratulations!" to my daughter, first word out of her mouth was "Please put the cap back". It's exactly the kind of thing Tracy Ross would do, displacing her displeasure toward parents at a special needs child in such mean-spirited way. Wow, what can I say?

It the spirit of full disclosure I will share that my children are no longer enrolled in Fulton due…read moreto a severe discretion of my daughter, she was caught with marijuana on campus. I have 3 children that attended Fulton for 4 years. Over 4 years my children maintained excellent grades, participated in sports, were members of the honor society and won many merrit based awards. We always had a cordial relationship with all the faculty and contributed to the school as often as we could above what was financially required by way of time donated and meals for things such as teacher appreciation and sports banquets. The board of directors seem to be a good hearted lot, they awarded my children partial scholarships every year that they were there, if it weren't for the scholarships we couldn't have afforded the tuition. The problem lies in the head of school Letha Hopkins. Dr Hopkins took the one time any of my children made a bad decision and turned it into an execution for all 3. She looked down from her moral high ground and decided that all 3 of these bright, promising students should be expelled over the indiscretions of one. Letha seems to have a problem with diplomacy. There are many very good teachers that have decided that they would rather not work under her oppressive dictatorship and have taken on jobs with other school districts, ultmately leaving Fulton a talent depleted shell of its former self. Her leadership style leaves only "yes men" in its wake, to be a dynamic charismatic educator is a death sentence. I am assuming that is why enrollment in the upper school is down to a dismal half dozen students. I realize my child made a reprehensible decision and I acknowledge that there must be reprocutions for bad behavior but to think that an individual that wields the power over so many lives would chose to decimate their future so dismissively is very disheartening. In fairness to Dr Hopkins I think this decision was probably made with council from the board members which is a shame since the schools moto is do what's best for the child. What happened to my children was definitely not what was best for them. Humans make mistakes, it is our responsibility as adults to nudge our children back to center when they mess up not to decimate their lives and take collateral damage in the process.
