Ms. Gaulder, if you are for real, which I doubt, it sounds like your son did not benefit at all from Carlbrook. That is the case with a number of kids in any program.  There is no way the managing staff at Carlbrook is out to make a quick buck. They work night and day for relatively modest salaries.  Your son "had a horrible time". Did you think you were sending him to golf camp? "

Karen, is that you?  ::kiss::

Thanks, Carlbrook staffer. Appreciate your input. I share your hope that most parents will look elsewhere for advice and information.  The bashers on this forum have no idea what Carlbrook is about.

My son attended for 9 months, but did not finish the program.  He left in May 2004 and finished high school at a regular prep boarding school.  I had some major disputes with Carlbrook while he was there.  He did benefit in some ways, and wilderness actually did him a lot of good (he did two stints in wilderness).  I thought some of the Carlbrook staff was excellent and some were terrible.

"Hi, I'm glad your son is doing well at Carlbrook. I have to warn you. This is a miserable blog full of ex-TBS kids (and adults) that will very shortly attack you in every way imaginable. I also have a child having a very favororable experience at Carlbrook but beware of what's coming. This is a TBS Survivor site and expect more abuse than your kid ever gave you. btw I have a child there that will be graduating soon and then going to college. It's been good for our whole family. Good luck."

If any unsuspecting parent or happy ex-TBS student doubts the single focus of this forum and the lengths the posters will go to in order to be nasty and inappropriate, just read through some of the threads, particularly the Karenindallas thread under Brat Camp.
This is NOT a place for intelligent debate or sharing of ideas and information.
I will save you time and summarize the information on this forum:
1. All emotional growth programs are abusive and can not do any possible good for a teen.
2. Any parent who sends a teen to wilderness or an RTC or TBS is a terrible parent who hates their kid and all kids.
3. The regulars on this forum are experts on emotional growth programs and know everything there is to know about the staff and the treatment methods are every program. None of them are good.
4. If a former student attempts to defend a program or explain how it helped him or her, it is because he/she has been brainwashed by the program. In a few years the person will figure it out and remember how they were abused at the program.
5. Anyone who claims to have gone to a good college after the program or to have received a valuable high school degree is lying.
6. Any parent who recommends a program to another parent is doing so because they get a kick-back from the program.
7. All educational consultants are in it for the money and get kick-backs from the programs they recommend.

Aren't you the little detective --- you hate-filled forniscating BASTARD! Are you PROUD of yourself? Carlbrook was okay but I REALLY am here to keep a TRUTHCHECK on all you ankle-biting, glue eating SENSATIONALISTS and liars. I DON'T believe one bad thing anyone says here, and I KNOW the truth --- Eudora wrote a computer program to PRETEND to be kids who were abused --- you all say the SAME repeated stories. You AREN'T real --- YOU are a COMPUTER program. If you wave at me like THAT again --- I'll SUE you. Don't think I will --- TRY ME!!!!!

The only bashing I see is coming from program parents! Ya'll are insane! KareninDallas, seek help!

Karen, do you think the staffer that just posted was one of the excellent ones or one of the terrible ones?

[Anonymous]

I think the staffer who posted was probably one of the good ones.  They get rid of the bad ones fairly quickly, except for Bender.

They didn't post a name so how would I know!? It's about a 50/50 chance --- and that's good enough for my kid.

ok...it appears that a faculty member has come out of woodwork and made themselves known.  I can appreciate their desire for anonymity and their request for their name not to be "muddied".

I have just a couple questions for starters and hope that we can have some intelligent discourse without resorting to the "noise" that I read on this forum from both the "pro" and "anti" camps on this forum.

1.  Can I safely assume that if the poster is not Tim Brace, that he is privy to what is said here concerning Carlbrook?

2.  Would Tim be willing to field questions directly on this forum for the purpose of comparing and contrasting how Carlbrook is run now vs. the way that Rocky Mountain Academy was run while he was the director there?

[Anonymous]

I hope Tim will be busy with his work at Carlbrook.  I sincerely hope he doesn't take the time to answer questions on this site.  I hope he doesn't even take the time to read through the postings.  Tim is accessible to all Carlbrook parents, and prospective parents, and has taken my calls on every occasion I've desired to speak with him.  My child thinks he is great.  Now, let the games begin.  Rip us all apart.

[Anonymous]

I had to laugh at that post requesting Tim to engage in discussions here on this forum.  The last poster nailed it- if someone wants to talk to Tim, go ahead and call him.  He is much too professional and attendant to his role at Carlbrook to stoop to the level of this forum.

[try another castle]

Of course Tim wouldn't post here. Why does he have to when you do it for him?

I called Tim this morning --- he told me he would review this site --- but would not respond. He also told me that no counsleors have posted --- so "his" post is most likely false. While my kid was at Carlbrook I spoke with Tim many times --- he is  a fraud --- don't believe anything he says. Remember --- when I said some staff were good and others terrible? He was one of the terrible ones!
Now go ahead and rip me apart you stupid forniscating bastards.
