Sylvan is now charging me for $370.04 for an assessment that they did on my son and it is completely incorrect. They told me that my son could not read and that is why his behavior was so bad in the classroom. They told me that he felt ashamed and embarrassed because he could not read and so he was acting out in the classroom. (I am not sure how they can assess his abilities to read, when they informed me that they did not do a verbal assessment. Wouldn't this be a very crucial criteria for telling a parent that their child cannot read?)
Well it turned out that I had Parent Teacher Conferences about 2 weeks after the assessment and my son read an entire book to me that was not exactly an easy book for a first grader.
The school had been doing an assessment on my son for about 2 months now and it was completed about the same time as well. My son can read and in fact his behavior was not from his inablities in the classroom. They were from his behavior and his lack of self control. Does this sound like a reading issue? Not to me.
Now I am being harrassed by bill collectors for money that I should not have to pay. Actually, I cannot afford to pay and I should nto have to pay.
I was warned about Sylvan. People told me that they will make something wrong with my child so that they get paid. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and I am sorry that I did.
Sylvan made me feel like my son was almost retarded and a special education needs child. Had he actually been, I would be grateful for their assistance. However, he is not.
Beware Sylvan. It is true. They will make something wrong with your son/daughter. If they don't, they don't get paid.
