My point is that there is a lot of success after Carlbrook. There are also a lot of failures. A girl from our hometown who was at Carlbrook didn't last a semester at college. She has been in and out of rehab since Carlbrook.


Thats not a point, thats a pointless statement.

Youre simply saying "well this kid who came out of it is ok now so whatever your grievances are invalid" in different words. Thats not proof that carlbrook is good, effective, or even non-harmful. Saying that someone survived it is not good enough to condone sending someone there, especially when its not a secret that its just another LGA-based mindfuck!

Whatever parent posted below about Tim Brace being harmless and Glenn Bender being lethal is an idiot.  If any of the staff runs the school besides Grant Price and Justin Merritt, it is Tim Brace.  I am speaking as a graduate of Carlbrook.  Tim Brace has been used as the resident figurehead of all the school stands for.  Glenn Bender is rarely involved with any of the so-called "emotional growth" in the boarding school.  He is the academic dean and, while I'm sure he does have a say in the school (he is on the Board of Regents), I only saw him in a few of the groups.  Yes, he is one of the top people you don't want to piss off.  Why?  He is one of the smartest people I've ever met.  His bite is lethal.  But it takes quite a bit to instill it.  I pissed him off several times during my stay but is one of the few people I actually like in retrospect.

It's funny how most of the things being brought up in this forum are things I myself brought up while at Carlbrook... to parents who may send your children to these schools, I challenge you to take the time to do the research on the negative aspects of these programs.  The workshops they use (another name for LGAT) have no long-term psychological benefit.  In fact, many LGATs have induced psychotic breakdowns.  They try to piss you off as much as possible, then make you break down and cry.  They are a school.  They make large sums of money.  Do the math.  There are over 100 kids at this school.  Each student pays over 100,000 for a 16 month program.  Many great regular boarding schools charge this much for about 4 years of school.  The average staff member does not make a lot of money.  When I was there, they crammed 5 people in a dorm room originally meant for 2 people, yet continued to state that they weren't about the money.

That's one SPICY meatball! $$$$$$$$$$$

Since when did helping teens become such a hugely profitable business? What a crock.

Nice new screen name- no, I don't think you are a Carlbrook graduate.  Amazing how you sound JUST like Dysfunction and some of the other regulars on here.

Nope, it ain't DJ. Doesn't even sound like DJ to me. You're graspin' at straws, darlin, graspin' at straws.

Anyone who's really interested in the nuts and bolts history of this sordid industry, I would highly recomend snagging a copy of Maia Szalavitz new book, Help At Any Cost.

What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that
they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long.

Hi!  I went on and registered!  Carlbrook Graduate does indeed sound like someone who went there.  The dorm rooms were cramped for four people, and when they decided to add a fifth boy to each room, many students and parents were very unhappy.  The girl's dorms were not affected by this change.  At the time, they did not have a waiting list for girls, but had a large waiting list for boys.

The dorm rooms were too crowded- I agree with you there.  I don't agree that the place is raking in the money.  It costs a ton for insurance and to run the physical facility.  It's a 24/7 operation.

Not me, moron.  I have a username and I use it.

Ever think that some people just have similar opinions?  Maybe that's too much to wrap your little brain around.  Not to mention that I would have no idea what the dorms are like or how many kids in the rooms or the differences between boys' and girls' dorms.

Nice of you to take a poke at it though.  I'd suggest you talk directly to the poster who you think is me and ask THAT person to clarify.

They must have assumed you were taking a page out of THEIR book.

As we used to say in raps: that Carlbrookie "must be projecting".

For those of you, whether you are a parent or a former student, need to understand that Carlbrook does not fix anyone. I see many people that leave the school and they base their life around repeating every tool and trick they teach you at the school. Your kid will grow up on their own based on their own experiences. Carlbrook offers many great things, but once they leave they have to mature on their own. There is absolutely no point in criticizing the school, the students, or the staff for not being able to fully 'mature' you or your child. Thats life.

yeah, well CEDU never claimed to fix you either. They said "because you weren't broken to begin with."


awwwwwww... how fucking warm and fuzzy.

You're going to need to try better than using that old bullshit line.

Maturation is a natural process and locking someone up does not speed up this process in any way. It will make it seem like it does, because you are away for so long. It's all an illusion. One big bad illusion.

But- while they are locked up (your term, not mine) they are safe and are being educated (at least in the case of Carlbrook) and are gaining some tools and maturity.
