Thanks Amery

    I have to say that the Y is so much nicer than the JCC Manhattan. I
    just went over there and also to FIT and they have a commitment to
    bench time for at least 3 weekday afternoons a week which pretty much
    makes up my mind. You can't have a jewelry program without bench.
    It's like saying "Hi - we will teach you photography but you can't
    use the darkroom or photoshop" Give me a BREAK! 

    I think that the JCC Manhattan is just pretty much a corrupt non
    "educational" school that is selling programs to make money without
    thinking of really helping the students grow and learn their craft.
    The administration does not listen to any complaints from students,
    (they are repeatedly ignored) and simply thinks they can rip people
    off. The teachers are not even that great! I took a workshop from Pat
    Flynn at Penland and learned more in 3 days than I learned in 2
    semesters there. 

    I just want folks out there to know not to take their classes - they
    are also twice the price of FIT! Who do they think they are?
