I was interested in finding out more about the high school process but more importantly, I wanted my [7th grade] son to start committing to the process. The talk had the desired effect. He paid attention and gathered information. It may still not be his favorite subject but since that day we can talk openly about what to expect and the need to keep up his grades without push back from him. So, thank you for helping us get started on the long road ahead!
-Mom of 7th grader at MS 442 in Brooklyn who attended talk at the JCH in Bensonhurst
“We knew what we envisioned for our son’s middle school experience but found the whole process extremely overwhelming. You were so reassuring, empathetic and had amazing insights into each of the schools we were interested in (and those that weren’t even on our radar!) Thank you for taking the time to understand our family’s values and helping us navigate the process!”
— Brooklyn mom of two
"Everything in the presentation was extremely helpful. Even being from New York, and a graduate of Hunter High School, this was all new to me."
-Jason, parent of a two-year-old who attended an introductory workshop about NYC public schools.
"As first time parents, we learned a great deal from [Pamela]- from how and when to apply to the free Pre-K program to where to go for additional information. As a parent who has sent her own children to NYC public schools, Pamela is a valuable resource when it comes to navigating the NYC public school system."
-Robie, parent of toddler
"What was most helpful for us was learning about the little gems, that we would have had to do a lot of digging around to find on our own. Your rational approach and assurance that we will all be fine, and make fine choices for our children (the sky will not fall!), was also very encouraging. We appreciated the info about charter schools and Gifted &Talented and hearing the pros and cons, from your expert perspective."
- Ali, mom to a rising pre-k student
