In trying to find the SMA website I came across this complaint. My child attends SMA and maybe getting both sides of the story would help people to better understand the situation...first off, the parents of this 11 year old were incredibly aggressive and tried to pick a fight by getting up into Master Preira's face. One should also note that the parents of the 11 year old came in and verbally abused Master Preira and his wife calling her a B****, throwing in that her mom was a B****. HAHA. This is the type of people that leave these types of complaints.
The charges were dropped significantly for Instructor Weinman...he got a slap on the wrist and has nothing but a mere violation on his record. One should also note that Instructor Weinman was not only being made fun of for pictures of his girlfriend but his for his handicap as well. Not that it makes raising a hand to a child right in any way. However I know Master Preira and Mrs. Preira personally and I know that they suspended Instructor Weinman and made him see the severity of the situation so please note that it was not at all ignored.
Some times people are looking for a reason to start something or to get out of a commitment they've signed and this complaint is completely one sided. I would completely recommend this school to everyone I know. My child has attended here for 7 years...grown up with Master Preira and his wife and they are a truly a second family to us.
