The reasoning is simple but true. Kinetic Academy is a group of adults who have created jobs for themselves. When your child has special services, such as speech therapy or IEP\u00e2\u0080\u0099s you take away from the board members paychecks. The board members don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t take kindly to your child needing extra services. My child has an IEP for speech therapy. Kinetic Academy requested a meeting which I attended. At this meeting I meet with Bri and she asked me why I wanted my kids to attend Kinetic Academy. First I said, I have heard teacher dedication is wonderful. She quickly told me the teachers are very busy and cannot offer any extra time to students. Whole-group instruction is all they have time for. Teachers don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t have time for individual, it's simply not an option due to limited resources. Next I said that I liked the Spanish and Art classes. She said due to my child\u00e2\u0080\u0099s once a week speech therapy he would have to miss all Spanish and Art classes. When I further presses her, she refused to answer why my child couldn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t attend these classes the other 4 days of the week. I could write a book on how I was treated and how Kinetic Academy staff continuously put down my child for have special needs. I realized after the meting, they didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t schedule the meeting to help my son. The meeting was scheduled so they could put me down as a parent and bully me into not attending their school. It makes me very sad to know that a school claiming to be there for children, clearly has a paycheck ahead of child welfare. If your child has no special needs, this may be a good placement for them. If you child has any special needs, weather it be gifted or challenged, I would never recommend Kinetic Academy. Kinetic Academy has brought nothing to my family but sadness and heartbreak. I would not recommend this school if you care about your children and their education.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Unfortunately, I have learned the hard way, that Kinetic Academy will do everything in their power to keep children with speech therapy or IEP\u00e2\u0080\u0099s out of their school.

At this meeting I meet with Bri and she asked me why I wanted my kids to attend Kinetic Academy. First I said, I have heard teacher dedication is wonderful. She quickly told me the teachers are very busy and cannot offer any extra time to students. Whole-group instruction is all they have time for. Teachers don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t have time for individual, it's simply not an option due to limited resources. Next I said that I liked the Spanish and Art classes. She said due to my child\u00e2\u0080\u0099s once a week speech therapy he would have to miss all Spanish and Art classes. When I further presses her, she refused to answer why my child couldn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t attend these classes the other 4 days of the week. I could write a book on how I was treated and how Kinetic Academy staff continuously put down my child for have special needs. I realized after the meting, they didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t schedule the meeting to help my son. The meeting was scheduled so they could put me down as a parent and bully me into not attending their school. It makes me very sad to know that a school claiming to be there for children, clearly has a paycheck ahead of child welfare. If your child has no special needs, this may be a good placement for them. If you child has any special needs, weather it be gifted or challenged, I would never recommend Kinetic Academy. Kinetic Academy has brought nothing to my family but sadness and heartbreak. I would not recommend this school if you care about your children and their education.","languageCode":"en"},"authorAttribution":{"displayName":"Tiffany Korte","uri":"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/contrib\/113090772725944417834\/reviews","photoUri":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocJAgbI3_CAJstelF_myNorXTWOAtjeZWIM7RdS5kqHNiNI=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo"},"publishTime":"2019-08-22T15:31:38Z"},{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"4 years ago","rating":5,"text":{"text":"My son attended kinetic Academy from their pilot year three years ago, until he finished this past spring in 5th grade.
