I attempted to go back on past threads as I seem to remember a post from one of the AA parents telling us all about how there are 3 types of people in the world. Wish I could find that as I would like to see how that holds true today.
Happy to oblige.

Dear HockeyFan21,
I’m glad to see you vigorously debate the issue as that tells me you care about Education and Athletics. Let me provide some clarity for you about the Student/Athletes at Achievers Academy.
I know quite a bit about the Student/Athletes at Achievers Academy as two of them are my own. They are all highly focused and driven kids that dream big and work hard on and off the ice. They are there to achieve great things in the classroom as well as on the ice and make absolutely no mistake they want to succeed in both arenas. They just like other Student/Athletes from other schools across this state are learning that to achieve success you have to work hard and stay focused.
The Student/Athletes at Achiever Academy are some of the hardest working and focused kids I have ever met. But here is something different than most schools, they are smiling everyday when they get there in morning and you can tell they genuinely want to be there every day.
I know you and obviously others below have spent a lot of time chattering about how horrible this all is and what kind of parents would even consider this type of approach.
My answer to you and them is me!
Why? Because I did what most of the people below did not do! I actually looked, listened, learned and then I formed an opinion based on the facts. After that we then mustered up the courage to give something new a try. Then we kept vigilance as the school progressed over the last three years.
And just like I tell my kids sometimes to succeed you have to be willing take a risk and sometimes that risk pay off. So far I can honestly say this school is one of times in my kids lives were courage is paying dividends for them in the classroom and on the ice.
As for the teachers, coaches and administrators at Achievers Academy they are some of the finest people I have ever met in my life. They genuinely care about every Student/Athlete that attends the school. Their tireless approach in the classroom and on the ice is contagious and the students love it.
Notice to all that read my statements above! I capped the “Student/Athlete” term every time I used it. They are what this is all about not you!
I’m sure what I said will not stop the chattering ninnies as they lack the foundation of wisdom.
(“Look, listen, learn and then form an opinion based on the facts” from paragraph six for all of you chattering ninnies)
The way I see it there are two types of people on the planet.
1st type: Cant, Won’t, Never
2nd type: Can, Will, Must
Ask all of yourselves which type you are before you make your next post!
Cheers,
