A sad review about the “splendid rest and education” with the Gelen Doron school in Lviv on Sykhiv. For the first time I am writing a sad response, but I must, because if there are adversities in society, then we need to fight them, otherwise we will disappear as a nation.
We reacted to advertising and positive reviews and decided with my family to join the English-speaking camp Gelen Doron in Skadovsk - the hotel "Vesenniy"
Paid for a ticket for 9 nights 10 days - 25580 UAH for three (parents and child).
Here's what we got for this money (and they would be enough for a chic vacation in Turkey or Egypt for the May holidays !!! ):
1) Three meals a day (worse than in the Soviet canteen, portions are small, porridge a la artek is smeared on a plate, a strange cutlet with unknown ingredients (zucchini and yesterday’s porridge were recognized, the rest cannot be recognized, cucumber and tomato on the face, choice, except for breakfast , no, what they cook, then the children will have to eat.
The menu was very greasy, the cutlets were overcooked. There were no fruits at all, although the camp was for children. That is, for TEN days the children sat without any fruit. And this is despite the fact that the prices on the market for the same apricots were 10 UAH per kg. The grandmothers who arrived with their grandchildren were angry with each other, but they were afraid to complain (apparently in the area where they live, this is the only school) - therefore, they bought everything additionally in local stores.
When we asked the people why such food, they answered us: “so you came MORE than paid for. ” To the question “What does this mean? "- answered with a smile -" Look carefully! ".
At the beginning and end of the race, there were additionally "sweet tables" - at the beginning of the race, a piece of cake "under the honey cake", a few sweets and juice, at the end of the race - a pie with apples, decorated with a berry and juice.
Such food on the Embankment in the cheapest canteen would cost a maximum of 150 UAH per person per day.
2) Small room about 10 sq.
There once squeezed one double bed, and one bunk bed, a small refrigerator and a bedside table - one for all. The rooms were never cleaned! for all 10 days of stay! Let's hope that the kids didn't bring lice, because after all there were pools and hot water.
BUT it's not about food and cleanliness, because we still came to the language camp, so we relied more on English than on restaurant food, as it was indicated in advertising and reviews.
According to the course program, 2 full-fledged English lessons were provided daily, plus morning exercises and evening activities, also in English.
What did you get? There were lessons (not everything is correct, but there were). THE LESSONS WERE IN UKRAINIAN!!! ! ! That is, solid Ukrainian with very rare interspersed with English.
The teacher did not react to my comments or answered “children do not understand English! ".
There was no clear program and purpose of the classes; as a rule, they set to watch cartoons based on the completed training courses. Links to the theme of the camp "Traveling the continents" - too. For example, on the stated topic of Australia, they glued a giraffe. During evening events (of which only half were held, that is, if handmade I quests were announced in the evening. There was OR a handmade OR a quest (half of the group hides the card, the other half searches). Of course, the key language is Ukrainian.
The exercises were also done very interestingly, as a rule, these were dances, to the so-called “main camp song”. At first, I didn’t really listen to the words of which, until my child began to sing “Beach, this my name”, I thought what kind of song this was, I looked on the Internet, and there “Bitch, say my name” (“Bitch, say my name"). It was an Uptown Funk Mark Ronson song.
To my remarks that it is possible for five-year-old children to know such words early, the “teachers” said: “so this is a dance, no one listens to it. ”
Perhaps the English teachers themselves did not know the words of this song (((((Most likely they didn’t know ((((. Because their handmades often had a lot of interesting things. For example, when they glued the mane of the same giraffe), my child asked how) there will be a mane in English (it’s logical, since we glue the mane, then ask how it sounds in English, because it’s still an English lesson) - the teacher answered - but hair. . Do you feel what level?
A lot of the work was just "take a photo for the report". Not how much did they study in English, how much did they “take pictures” for the report.
The final of my surprise was at the closing of the camp the presentation of letters with a bunch of mistakes in English words. When I showed the mistakes to the girls-tutors, they were surprised, but they DID NOT even meander! The children went home with these certificates.
Well, what English, such and letters.
I hoped that at least the photo would be sent, as promised, but almost a month has passed since then, no one has responded to my letters.
It is strange that this school is praised everywhere. I didn’t see the appropriate level of English, or respect for the client there. Wasted money!
