I got it...just not particularly in a light mood at the moment.  I enjoyed when I *finally* lightened up.  Thanks.

Usually when I see those little happy face things, emotocons, I immediately assume someone is being an asshole...because that is usually the case.

One of my gripes about Carlbrook actually had to do with lacrosse. They were so strict about so many things, but the boys were playing lacrosse without any protective gear.  Here was a group of kids with very little outlet for aggression and energy, and they let them have sticks and balls with which to beat on each other.  There were several injuries.

Do you know anything about the type of therapy that is provided there?

Yes, I do.  I've made the mistake of saying that my kid loved the workshops and his three advisors during his experience there.  I have no desire to debate this subject again.  I'm not trained I'm just lucky my kid did well there. No, I don't have any scientific proof just a happy ending.

Do you really want info or are you just setting up a firestorm?  I was kind of enjoying this thread today because I wasn't being attacked too much.

I really want info.  I have a feeling you and I will disagree on just about everything, but I'm not into the attacking.  I realize that happens here a lot (from people on both sides) but if you just ignore that and respond to people who are being civil you should be fine.

Well if you don't want to debate it then you probably shoudn't say it.  If you're going to respond to questions but put qualifications on it (other than not responding to assholes) how can we have any kind of discussion or debate?

Really.  We don't come from an area of the country where Lacrosse is played.  My kid never played it there.  So, I guess I was wrong with the Lacrosse statement.  I guess my kid was doing Pilates...which made us laugh.

I appreciate that.  We may disagree and that's OK.  I find that the later in the day it gets, the meaner some of the posters get.  I think I can guess why.  But, I usually check this thread before the cocktail hour and stay away at night--so if I disappear it's just my routine...not to mention,I have to take care of feeding lots of hungry boys.

They didn't have a lacrosse TEAM (or any other team, for that matter)- they just played it during free-time.  Lots of the former preppies liked lacrosse.

The therapy involved sessions several (maybe two) times a week with an individual counselor and then group sessions at least three times a week. There were lots of writing assignments. There was also a lot of one on one time with peers and more senior students.  The kids made "appointments" with each other to have honest discussions about their past experiences, goals for the future and struggles with family, substances, school, relationships etc.  

The kids were held to strict standards on many things- dress code etc. This seemed silly at times, but it was a way to get used to following the standards of a community.  At Carlbrook the standards were simply and fairly minor, but in the real world the same principles would apply.

You forniscators are all TOO predicable! I sent MY kid --- that's right, I SENT MY KID TO CARLBROOK AND WOULD DO IT AGAIN --- and he loves me for it. He calls me once per year, EVERY YEAR. He even once said he likes me --- Carlbrook performs nothing short of MIRACLES everyday! Don't believe this CRAP posted here by these ankle-biting, forniscating BASTARDS! This board is full of teens who whine and complain and LIE about being abused just for attention. This site is a CESSPOOL of disgusting SCUM --- it's obvious --- you all were sent to PROGRAMS!! You better be careful --- talk bad about Carlbrook --- and I will SUE YOU! Think I am kidding --- try me --- I dare you. I will sue your pants off. Sue, sue, sue, sue , sue. Yep, I'll sue you for sure. So grow up, get over it, and SHUT UP -- or I will sue you.

I have started coming to this board to learn about programs and I am shocked at the crude and mean remarks coming from the program parents. You should all be ashamed of yourself. Remember, there are no bad kids, only bad parents!

What crude and mean remarks are coming from program parents?  The KareninDallas posts are NOT by a program parent- they are by a regular Fornits poster who registered that login name.
