McCann School of Business & Technology

I decided to join this school because I wanted to learn my job and get right into the field without having to deal with the extra stuff at an actual college. Unfortunately, this place was WAY more hassle than just taking some extra nonsense courses. Let’s list the problems:
1: They force you to take a «College Math» course. To begin, this is not a college math course. This course is a 9^th grade course which involves very basic algebra, conversions, and geometry. The school gives you no chance to test out of this class unless you continually berate them and express your anger that you’re being forced to pay $ 1,000 or more for a course you absolutely do not need. I was even told «Yes, you’ll have to pay that money, but at least you’ll get an A.» Had to have three discussions with them before they allowed me to pay $ 100 to test out, which I aced with no sort of studying prior.
2: A majority of their staff is out to get you and are about as useful as teachers as a rock is. They had a computer teacher that knew nothing about computers and may have been on drugs. This teacher was kept for A MONTH before they finally bothered to listen to the complaints from the students and gave her the boot. Their one law teacher forces you to be your own teacher and does whatever she can to make students fail. You could be dying in the hospital, finally recover, and she would refuse to let you make up any work because it was your responsibility to keep up on it. Even if you were dying. And she refused to tell you about any of the work since she didn’t plan any or her classes and just decided to wing it every time. But that’s your fault for almost dying, so you deserve to fail the course.
3: They have zero respect for the military or their students. I gave my teachers almost a two month notice that I would be leaving to go to Texas for a basic training graduation. Only one teacher, who was responsible enough to plan his classes, was able to give me the work I needed to get done and allowed me to get it completed before I left. The other teacher, mentioned in my last point, in fact, didn’t give me any work until the day before I left. Then she had the audacity to have a MASSIVE two-​part, 130 point assignment on the last day I told her I would be gone. She refused to let me make that up, of course. Then after getting incredibly irate at her, she kicked me out and THREATENED A POP QUIZ, which cannot ever be made up, and she actually went through with the threat. I went to the two highest ranking people at the school, who both belittled me and refused to acknowledge that the teacher did any wrong. Even after I admitted to doing wrong on my part and accepting my punishment for what I said to the teacher, the completely stood by the teacher. One even made reference to me going to a BASIC TRAINING GRADUATION, something that happens once in a lifetime, as «Well you were the one that chose to go on a vacation.»
4: They have a dress code, but do not stick to it, nor do they care about enforcing it. When I first started going there, they were business casual only. Now you can walk around in short and flip flops with your breasts almost hanging out, and nobody bats an eye.
5: Gum under all of the desks with little care from staff when this was brought to their attention.
6: Their computer classes are worthless and a waste of money. Especially the ones where they are teaching you to type when a majority of students already know how to type well. They allow no test outs for this, therefor you end up wasting THOUSANDS of dollars, again.
7: Most teachers accept sub-​par work, so if you want to put half effort into something and get an A, this place is for you. Only the English teacher, who I greatly respect, expects you to improve and to do great work. She’s also the only one who really teaches you what you need to know, and teaches it well.
8: They tried to deny multiple law students their degrees because they insisted that their externships were not good enough, even though the lead of their program approved it.
9: They have multiple security violations at the school, such as a multitude of light bulbs being out. When brought to their attention by the students, they responded «It’s not in the budget.»
10: They overcharge for the sub-​par education they are giving you.
If you truly care about your future and care about learning, then this place is NOT for you. If you want to get a degree with minimal effort, minimal gained knowledge, and a massive hole in your pocket, then this place will be wonderful for you.
