| - When I was looking for a school for my kid, I visited this place and I was impressed by the quality of the older kids. They seem mature, self-confident, with great personalities. I would believe for most kids this is a great and supportive place to grow up. What happened to my kid was a different experience. The school makes a selection based on the character of the kid - and not on the communication skills as they will tell you. This school doesn't like kids who don't fit the group. And when I say they don't like them, I mean it. My kid was accepted but later on he was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder. After one year, the director started asking us to change the school. Although we met the teachers regularly, they didn't inform us clearly about the issues with my kid. As the second year began, during a parents day, we went talking with his new instructors. Part of them where really nice and polite persons. When I met the music instructor I smiled to her and introduced myself. Instead of saying hello, her answer was straight away: "When are you going to remove your kid from the school?". This is a school instructor speaking this way. Couple of months later, when my kid was already in another school, one day he told me that back at the Face school, there were moments when he was taken from his class and brought to a person who was not the director, nor one of his instructors. He didn't know who the person was but he said it was a lady. He told me the person would start yelling at him, and that would make him start crying. He could not tell me what the person was yelling about, but he only remembered he was so scared he was starting to cry. I never knew about this while he was still at Face, he never told me during that time, probably that shows how painful the experience was. Again, this happened in a well known school, located right in downtown Montreal.
