My son was crushed and cried his way to school this morning because he found out that he was…read moredismissed from the 'School of Rock Farmington' by the new owner Chris, for nothing that my son did. Chris, without any notice or discussion with us, decided to dismiss my son from the school this morning, because I responded to a SoR customer survey that he didn't like. My concern and issue was mainly with the new ownership who I believe has changed the 'School of Rock Farmington' from a music loving family culture to a money focused operation that takes advantage of the love we have for our kids. Shortly after Chris took over the Farmington location, my first conversation with him consisted with him telling me how poorly the school used to be run by the prior management and how he was going to make everything bigger and better. Soon after the ownership change, Eric, the former GM, along with many other staff members that we loved, were gone. While I really didn't like the changes that I was seeing, I eventually decided to ignore it because my son was so in love with drumming. And most recently, I had an "interaction" with Chris over paying cover for two young kids that we had in our group from this past Sunday's mid-season concert. When I asked him why our 6 yr old daughter and her 6 yr old cousin needed to pay for cover (because little kids didn't need to pay before), Chris immediately got defensive and angrily told me that since he became the owner at Farmington everyone needed to pay no matter how young. Then he went onto tell me how expensive it was for him to run the shows and called me "petty" for even bringing this up. My son really loved the school and all of his teachers and friends he made so far at SoR Farmington. He really fell in love with drumming and really fell in love with music, which I credit the prior SoR management, and all former and current teachers and staff members for. My son and my family loved the program and would like to thank everyone at 'School of Rock Farmington' that looked after him. He's currently heart broken, but I'm hopeful that he will find a better school that looks out more for the kids than their own ego and bottom line. P.S. My brother-in-law emailed Chris this morning (without me knowing) because our whole family is heartbroken right now. Chris responded back saying that he will have my son back in his school as long as I changed my review score to an 8. I have no intentions of making any compromises and don't need to have my son back at his money/review hungry institution. I hope Chris well too and wish him luck as he tries to make a ton of money off the kids that just wants to love music.

This Clinton Twp satellite location of CMU is actually located on the campus of Macomb Community…read moreCollege. If you don't know specifically where you're going, you probably won't find it. There is a small "CMU" logo on the bottom of ONE of the MCC signs at a driveway off Garfield. When you pull in, there is no further directions. As it turns out, the CMU center (along with MSU, Ferris, UDM, and Madonna centers) are located inside the building labeled "University Center." In my experience, the university centers of colleges are usually the buildings that house food courts, student service offices, etc. Not in this case. Once you find the university center, there is still no clear marking on the outside indicating CMU (or any other university) centers inside. Luckily our professor sent us a detailed email instructing us to enter here anyway. Once inside, room numbers and specific university offices are more clearly identifiable. So if you're able to actually find your way into the right building, you'll at least be good from there on out. The air conditioning is weak at best, we all had to bring in fans and plug them in around the room. The bathrooms are checked and cleaned probably on Friday and not again til the following Monday - many stalls out of paper, the trash cans were overflowing onto the floor, and water was flooding the counter around the sinks. Ugh. There is no kitchen area, so if you bring your food from home it better be something that does not need to remain cold because there is no fridge. There is, however, a dirty microwave up for use. The 2 vending machines are beverage only, so there is not even the option of grabbing a quick bag of pretzels to munch on while studying. I love CMU and have earned my undergrad on their main campus in Mt. Pleasant, as well as at another metro Detroit satellite location. But unfortunately this choice of location in MCC was not a wise one on their part.

If you're planning on taking some university classes, CMU is absolutely the way to go. This campus/satellite specifically has meant so much good to me.

What I especially appreciate is how openly they welcome people of different faiths, beliefs, backgrounds, and identities. They aren't asking everyone to believe the same thing. They see those differences as something worth celebrating. I was also impressed by how seriously BUC puts its values into action. Their commitment to LGBTQ+ inclusion, racial justice, climate action, and the broader work of creating a more loving and equitable world isn't just something written on a sign. This congregation has a long history of showing up for civil rights and social justice, while still offering worship, religious education, music, community, and opportunities to connect. For anyone around Bloomfield Hills looking for a spiritual community but unsure whether a traditional church is still a good fit, Birmingham Unitarian Church is absolutely worth exploring. You can bring your questions, your beliefs, your doubts, and yourself. There's room here.
