There is plenty of contact with girls at Carlbrook. There is a good reason for the restriction on romantic relationships.  Many of the girls have boundary issues with boys.  
If a kid has a serious addiction problem, no I don't think Carlbrook is the right place.  I happen to believe in 12 step programs for addiction.  
I know what the alternatives were for my son. It isn't rocket science.  He needed the strongest academics possible and he needed a therapeutic environment.  He needed an environment whree he would be accountable for his choices.  
My son didn't view Carlbrook or wilderness as punishment. He realized, after awhile, that he got himself there. It was a very logical consequence for what he was doing at home.  
I chose not to kick my 16 year old out of the house. I feared for his safety and his future.
You don't have any concept of what I am talking about with his relationship with the girl.
I consider Carlbrook an emotional growth boarding school. It is an intense therapeutic environment with pretty strong academics.
I continue to defend it against claims that it is abusive. This forum attempts to make people think the kids are thrown in cells and handed bread and water through slats.
Again- my son did NOT finish the program. He convinced us that he was ready to conduct himself in a manner that would allow him to attend a normal prep school where he could achieve his academic and athletic goals.

Okay, thanks for answering. I think I'm beggining to understand where you are coming from. Don't get me wrong -- I disagree with you on a lot of points wholeheartedly 100% -- but I do want to at least understand the thinking of parents who find these schools helpful. So, thanks for taking the time at least to address my concerns. See ya around the boards.

Because you write like a hysterical, histrionic housewife.

I already explained that I am a professional who makes plenty of money and I spend my time how I like.  I don't know how that is any of your concern, though.  Does it make you mad or something to think that I have the time to do what I please?  Your being a working dad hardly makes you any kind of martyr in my eyes.  You're an adult with a kid.  You should be working.

Why don't you just get down to the brass tacks of the issues instead of hurling insults and denigrating others?  You seem either unable or unwilling to understand how these type of programs work (or don't as it were).  If you could make even a single logical point we could have some meaningful dialogue, but the way you have behaved thusfar just paints a poor picture of your ability to do so.

No one defending a program can make a logical point, in the distorted world of Dysfunction.  Nice slam against housewives- that shows a lot of maturity.

If DJ "holds an MSW" I believe he must be a marriage counselor.  All of those "hysterical, hystrionic" housewives in his area have gone for therapy elsewhere.  That gives him loads of extra time to spend time here.

Ah ha- you got it! No patients, so lots of time to be dysfunctional on the internet.

I don't think anybody is impressed with these childish insults. You call DJ immature, and then proceed to make fun of him as if this is a grammar school playground. It takes two to tango.

Do you come here to discuss programs, or what?

Most of what DJ has to contribute consists of insults.  Why shouldn't we be allowed to return the favor?  Oh, wait- only the anti-program people can be insulting and clever!

I did come here to discuss programs until I found out if you don't choose the side against the program (which ever program, they hate them all) you are insulted, called a dope, an alcoholic, a bad parent, a hystrionic housewife and whatever else these professional bloggers want to throw at you.  And, obviously, there is more than one Anonymous poster.  1082 condescending postings is a full time job.  Maybe this DJ guy and the other nay-sayers should become Ed. Consultants, visit the schools, and teach us the truth instead of postulating if they think they are so right.  If I'm not mistaken, Carlbrook hasn't been around long enough to have enough graduates to prove anything just yet.  I hope for the sake of the students that are there that you are all wrong and the parents defending the school are right.  I think you guys would rather be "right" than lose this argument no matter what is happening there. What a waste of time.

Hard for me to discuss a program I'm not involved with since I'm not a student or a parent of any of the programs...yet.  I'm new to this. I just came for information and saw that this is a one-sided forum with lots of bullying going on. This is the kind of negative, bullying behavior is frighteningly similar to my son's at the moment.  I'll leave this site to you, the experts now, and go hire a sub-standard Ed. Consultant.

You are allowed to do whatever you want, this is an unmoderated forum, it's your choice what you post. Hey - what a concept! You can certainly be insulting, but I'd hardly call your insults clever.

Maybe you should turn off your computer if it's frightening to you. This is just retarded, are you being for real. Are you an adult?
