When people say "failure is not an option" it gets on my nerves. Without failure, you will never succeed. When you fail, you learn so that you can avoid it. Everytime you hit the bottom, you're able to get back up stronger than before. You may go through something that you thought you couldn't possibly survive. But then you do, and you realize you're so much stronger than you could even imagine. The failures we go through shape us and give us the wisdom to succeed.

I went to a college prep school and the culture is very toxic at times, going to a 4 year university is the only thing that matters, other options are not important or discussed. The education for me was great and the teachers were the best ever and genuinely cared for me and others but the culture between the students was so competitive

My son was at a charter academy when he was very young. He has hearing loss on one side, which causes him to become bored, as use less of his mental faculties because the aren't engaged in the learning process. The school was provided equipment from the state to assist in his learning. They wouldn't use it and routinely sent him home in the middle of the day. My wife and I went to the school to figure out what was going on. They told us that he wasn't intelligent enough to learn what they were teaching. The problem is that our son had been tested at U of M on multiple occasions to see if it was an intelligence related issue. It wasn't. It was a hearing related issue. After doing this for a half of a year the school said they would have to fail him. And, they said this would probably be the case the following year. We where shocked. They were the ones that did this. They where the ones that sent him home. Then they were not only failing him for the current year, but the next year. I'd never even heard of a school doing this. We pulled him out of the school and went to our local public school. The principal said that he would struggle, as he was over a year behind his class! That it would take several years for him to catch up. But, he said it was up to us, that he would need our help, and that the school would create an IEP to assist at school. Time went by and one day I was at the school and the principle walked by. He said that he wanted to tell me something. He said, "I was wrong. Your son is nearly caught up. I can't believe the transition. He's the talk of the school!" Later he received a diploma for getting off academic probation. He's still young, so he doesn't get what he accomplished. It was an amazing achievement. He still has problems in school because he has some attention span issues, which may or may not be related to the hearing. But the school works with us. Its the reason we still live here. The school makes a big difference in how your children do. But you have to take part in it as well. I hope the best for all of the kids in this video.

This sounds more like a cult than a school.

My school has one of the highest college acceptance rates in the country among non-private schools. The school has a program intended to make sure that every single student, without exception, gets coaching on how to do a college application, and how to make sure that the student can find a good college, with an even better scholarship. The problem? The students who graduate our school graduate college at one of the single lowest rates in the country. My school is incredibly lenient on due dates, and will do everything in its power to make sure that the assignment you missed on the first day of the semester, gets graded. Even if you turn it in on the last day of the semester. While this helps with grades, it doesn't help students get prepared for college. The majority of those who get accepted to college were used to turning in assignments from January in May. These students weren't ready to turn in assignments from January 1st on January 2nd. Since I learned that, every time I see a school with a high college acceptance rate, it's an instant look away from me. I'm not looking to get to college, I'm looking to graduate.

Tony L That’s literally what happened to a large percentage of the kids. The NYT wrote a huge article that delves deeper into the entire controversy and they bring up the fact that most of the kids who went to these Ivy League schools had their grades suffer horribly or even needing to drop out and go to a local or community college because they were basically at elementary and middle school levels

@Maya No, it doesn't mean that you have a middle school education. However, community colleges often offer a plethora of lower-level or remediation classes to help students fill in gaps in their high school education. These are often lacking at four-year colleges. So, while most students at community colleges probably don't need it, those colleges often have the resources and opportunities for students to succeed even without a strong high school experience.

Dude, you learn so much from the failure itself, that's what make human a human. Failure help us grow. It is necessary to accept it instead of reject it.

Should I believe that these students scored well on standardized tests, but are grade levels behind? This makes no sense. You do realize that in order to apply to those Ivy League schools and gain admission, those students had to at least meet the minimum ACT or SAT score required by the university. Anyone who has applied to the Ivy League knows this. The issue is, the NY Times only has the testimony of a disgruntled girl who couldn't pass the prep school exam and was therefore put out of the school. There was one sentence about a student attending Brown, who is now a junior. Try employing a little critical thinking. Read between the lines. The school has been open since 2005 and we are approaching 2019. They have successfully sent students to the ivy league. If those students were flunking out, why would the Ivy league continue to admit (in record numbers), students from that prep school? The answer is, many of those former students did well and graduated from Yale, Brown, Harvard, Columbia, etc.
