Um, unfortunately it is quite easy for a kid to get expelled from Carlbrook. My kid was not quite "with the program." They were good about trying to explain expectations to him, but he was stubborn. They never used any force or restraint. We got a phone call and were asked to pick him up within a very few days. He still credits his progress to Carlbrook, and getting kicked out was a nasty wake-up call. He was devastated, and still keeps in touch with friends he made there. He's out of high school now, working full-time and is doing well. I think we have a troll stirring things up here.
