I think I have only seen two competent math teachers during my stay at HLA, but both of them left.

--- Quote from: ""SH"" ---This happened at my high school also. I dont know much about what Georgia law is now regarding coaches teaching and teachers coaching, but I went to high school in Georgia at a private high school, (not boarding), and all of our coaches except one were also teachers. The only coach that wasnt a teacher was our guidance counselor. We had coaches teaching social studies, math, religion, and P.E. This must be a legitimate practice because my high school is still doing it and they have been in business since 1958. I guess the big question is what Georgia law is requiring nowadays for what type of degrees teachers require in the private sector.

You see that's the problem: HLA believes they are above Georgia law or any law.
Here's they point: HLA claims their teachers are certified; they aren't.
Smoke and mirrors...

In the private sector teachers have only to be degreed in the field they teach...However, according to SACS, they cannot be cross utilized unless written notification is given to SACS...example: covering temporarily for maternity leave, etc.. The private sector teachers unfortunately do not have to be certified...
However, the problem arises, that HLA markets their school as having State certified teachers....and even though they tell ORS they are not a 'Therapeutic Boarding School', they market that their counselors
are also licensed MA degreed or higher, etc.

Time to bring this topic to the forefront again.
Dr. Flatt has not acted upon complaints lodged against HLA. HLA has now been legally defined by the state as a "Residential Childcare Facility" and it there fore cannot be a "school."
Let's let Dr. Flatt hear from us regarding this topic.
