Empire Beauty School (Hanover, Pa) is the most absurd, ass-backwards, pathetic, poor excuse, three ring circus for an educational institution that I have ever seen. This school falsely advertises its educational services, lies to students on a regular basis, changes their own rules and policies to suit their needs, and does nothing but teach the basics of the industry. Students spend 2 days per week in the classroom, and 3 days on the floor, however the majority spend most of their time standing, or sitting around due to the fact that the school does not have enough of a curriculum to teach during class days, and the days they are on the floor, the school cannot sustain enough business to keep the students busy on the floor, so therefore the students get bored and begin to roam and wonder from class to class, disrupting other students, sneaking out and roaming the mall complex the school is located in among a million other things. So basically, students are paying tuition to sit and do nothing and to also learn nothing. Well, the last I looked, most people already know how to sit and do nothing, I dont think students should have to pay for this service.

Now, if the teachers would have the initiative and motivation to teach, I am sure they could come up with plenty of things that these students have not yet been taught, but wait, they cant do that, because they are to busy trying to round up and find their students that are wondering the facility in a state of boredom, and making phone calls to all of the students who have not shown up for the day. (last time I looked, most of the students were 18-50 years old and adults, thought that this was a secondary educational institution, not elementary school, and since when is it any of Empires business where I am or What I do when I am not there.) Another example of a babysitting service.

I hae seen students fall asleep in class, each and every day, for hours at a time, and nothing been said by the teacher or the director, with the exception of Oh Well, their loss. I have seen classmates from another class come into another class and start an hour long conversation with several classmates during teaching, and the teacher has said nothing and no teacher came looking for them as M.I.A. . The policies and the handbook are not followed and enforced by anyone within the school, it mine as well be thown in the trash.

I could go on and on about the happenings and (not happenings) in this school, but that would require me to write a book that upon reading would make any person with even an inkling of human intelligence stop and think "can anyone possibly be this stupid" ANSWER: ENROLL TODAY

My personal opinion is that this is a horrible institution that should be stayed away from. You mine as well put your money in the trash can every day, atleast when the trash man empties it at the end of the week, you will have gotten the satisfaction of getting the services you paid for.
