Fair warning to parents considering Fantis: do not count on continuity here, no matter what they…read moretell you. The school markets itself as a long-term community with a clear admissions process and priority for current families, but that's not how it plays out. Our child started in the 3's program and was passed over for kindergarten during early and regular admissions -- along with six other kids from the same class who had been there just as long. Spots went to outside families new to the school, some of whom did not meet the criteria the admissions materials describe as required. Make of that what you will. There was no communication during the process, being left in the dark while those seats were quietly filled from outside. The teachers were nice and the early education itself was a fine experience. But if you are choosing this school because you want your child growing up here through eighth grade, understand that is not a promise they actually keep.

The answer to some of my questions was- we have been doing this for 40 years, we know how to do this instead of answering my question.

If they are dealing like this with adults, I do not know how they deal with kids.

Enrolling my child in this school was the best decision I have ever made. The atmosphere is supportive, rewarding, challenging and caring. My child walked into Fusion with no motivation, lack of confidence and walked out the complete opposite. The staff, Gina, Karla, Ryan, Bill, Veronica are no like any other. The Fusion teachers focus on the way your child learns in a one on one setting. I have never been prouder and have no plans on ever sending my child back to the public school system.

I will never forget when we first discovered the school. We knew that we had found the right place for our 2-year-old to begin her educational journey - the worry was over! Having now experienced three years with BCPS I can say without hesitation that I'm even more impressed. Each and every teacher and assistant reflects Ms. Jackie's care and dedication to the children along with her commitment to high standards in teaching and cultivating the children. We sincerely love them all. Lastly, I am thrilled to report our daughter will be continuing her education in the fall at Marymount in the UES. We couldn't have done that without BCPS - it was undoubtedly a team effort. We look forward to staying in touch and wish continued success to the school and any wonderful child who attends there.

Teachers yell and scream at kids. As a parent who had a child at this school and has seen how…read moreteachers do their work remotely, I am appalled at their behavior. Screaming at the kids for not understanding something is not acceptable. Yelling at the kids for not being capable of tracing or drawing something perfectly is not acceptable, especially when their hand muscles are still developing. Berating a kid when he/she froze while answering a question is unacceptable and just shows what type of hostile environment is fostered at this school when kids even freeze. Yelling and putting down children because they're taking time while completing a task that is time consuming is not only unacceptable, but abusive. Yelling at a little child because he/she was distracted in a class that is not engaging where all they do is fill out worksheets, listen to muffled videos, and answer more worksheets is not acceptable. Yelling at a child that is still learning how to write their name because it's taking him/her too long is appalling. As a parent, you want your child to be in a safe environment; an environment that is welcoming, nurturing, and that fosters respect. This was not the case I encountered while my child received remote instruction at St. Raymond's. What is more appalling and worrisome is that this happened in front of other parents and caregivers. What happens inside the school when parents are not there? This type of behavior from the teacher and teacher assistant also happens in other classrooms. I have heard another teacher from a nearby classroom yelling at her little kids as well. There is absolutely NO reason why an "educator" needs to yell, berate, or scream at any student, let alone little ones constantly. This was an everyday occurrence. The teacher and teacher assistant always seemed peeved and annoyed. They didn't seem to enjoy their work at all. Imagine being a small child spending 7-8 hours of your day in a hostile environment where you do not know if you are going to get yelled at for some arbitrary reason. In the midst of this terrible pandemic, I was somewhat thankful that my child was receiving remote instruction so that I, as well as other people in my family and my child's caretaker, could see what goes on at this school. Unfortunately, the best the school administration can do is just change your child to another classroom. This is very telling. Teachers face no repercussions and clearly the administration does not care. Also, the teacher in my child's classroom did not provide differentiation of instruction or offered other ways to explain the material. If the children did not get it, she would become exasperated and berated them. This is not teaching. It does not matter how many years these teachers have been working as educators, if you can't foster a respectful, welcoming environment; if you can't differentiate instruction; if you can't explain new material in different ways so that everyone understands; if you are not capable of providing an engaging class, especially for little ones; if you "wing things" as the teacher has said herself during instruction; if all you do is fill out worksheet after worksheet, play videos that do the teaching for you; if you can't behave professionally with parents; if you can't regulate yourself as an adult in a classroom with little ones, then you are NOT a teacher and should not be in a classroom dealing with little ones. You are merely an actor regurgitating material and doing the bare minimum. In other words, you are a body collecting a check. As an educator, this type of teacher is an embarrassment to the profession. Fortunately for the school and the teacher, we can't record them. Thus, they have full control while rendering the parents and the children powerless since teachers like this do not face any consequences. I am thankful I was able to find another school for my child.
