THINKSCHOOL THINK&CO TUTORING THINK&CO TUTORING and School: Unprofessional, unethical education environment BROOKLYN NEW YORK
I’m a single mom. I came for an interview for Think school. I was met with Shira Schwartzman. She seemed like a nice person, spoke very professionally. I was assured that by December -January the school will have gym, lab and library. We are at the beginning of March and nothing is done. I was promised that my child will get better education than any school, that the school has professional teachers.
In reality most of the teachers can't handle the class, do not teach what they supposed to, some teachers were imposing racial and politically controversial views. Few teachers, including the owner Shira Schwartzman, go out and smoke outside during class and not only cigarettes. Although I was told by other parents that there are teachers which regardless of all this mess and bardak properly do their job. One child injured the finger and has scar for the rest of her life.
School did not take responsibility for the accident. Some parents I was told paid money upfront in order to speed up the opening of the additional floor for the gym, lab and library but this money were used for personal needs of the owner. Many parents complained to Shira Schwartzman and asked for the breakdown of the money collected but she avoided the conversations. The school is dirty, there are homeless people sleeping in the lobby, the back yard is not properly secured for kids to play there. There is no security in the building or outside. Do not recommend under any circumstances. https://www.think-and-co.com

During this terrible times in Ukraine, where the whole world united against Russian aggression, school's teacher/principal/owner Shira, very strongly expressed her opinion in support of Russian invasion. My nephew was shocked when Shira after looking at some video on her phone started to yell that all Ukranians a benderovzi and it is their fault what happens in Ukraine.
Our whole family is from Kharkov and it is very painful to see what is going on there. It is unacceptable that principal of the school takes sides. There are kids from different parts of former USSR and school has to promote tolerance and peace, not support aggression. This is not the first time when my nephew and other kids complain that their teacher, Shira, goes out to smoke and comes back very aggressive, and starts screaming. Kids get scared. This is unacceptable !!! This is not what school has to be about!!!

When we had an initial interview everything was described very professionally. Curriculum would include besides mandatory subjects a lot of extra classes geared towards child's development: publishing, etiquette, music, art, communication etc. There school supposed to have gym, library, lunch room, science lab. Each extra classed supposed to have a professional teacher.
In realty NOTHING is in place! The regular teachers teach all extra classes, not to mention that half of the promised classes are not offered. There is no gym, science lab, library, lunch room. The kids do not receive what we were promised and are paying for. Many teachers cannot control the class. The kids are yelling and screaming, doing whatever they want. They are not taught the curriculum, in some areas our child even got worse.
The owner of the school comes out to smoke during the class leaving the kids with the assistant. Kids know it and complain. The security of the school does not exist. There is no security! You are dealing with kids, in the modern world how you can trust your child to a place where safety of your child is not guaranteed.! At the beginning of the year, we were asked to pay upfront at the discount rate.
These money were supposed to be used for construction of places fro additional activities. It is almost end of the year-where did the money go? Why we paid for the services that are not provided?!. It is the biggest scam. Shira Shwartzman, owner of the school, does not run the school. It is a complete chaos!. She talks very nice, but it is just words, nothing gets accomplished. wearethinkschool.com

The place cannot be called a school. My signed up my daughter hopping she will benefit from a boutique school and have attention she needed. It turned out that teachers are constantly on the phone, some teachers go smoking outside the school during lessons, and the owner, Shira, is most of the time smokes weed.
What can they teach the kids, what kind of example is set for the kids. Don't even think to send your kids there. https://www.youtube.com/user/shirashoe
