I just read through a few of the threads on this forum. I found my way here by googling the names of a couple of programs that have been suggested for my daughter, who is now in a wilderness program. My wife and I are about to visit some schools, and I wanted to do some research ahead of time.
I have never seen such an immature, disgusting group of posters on any internet forum I have frequented. The way you respond to parents and teens who try to report positive things about a program is absolutely vile. I noticed that a few of you are so obsessed that you come across as absolute freaks- especially Dysfunction Junction. From reading the Hidden Lake topic, one would have expected the doors to be closed by now. What possibly can be so compelling that an adult would spend hours every day trying to bring down a boarding school? And the vulgarity and anger directed at this supposed Karen is beyond childish. The good news is that the more you post those kind of things, the more any credibility you could have is gone.
I got almost no helpful information, except for a few posts by students or parents who actually had experience with the programs we are considering- and that experience was fairly recent. It is very, very sad that so many of you have not been able to move on with your lives and delight in attacking people in such a vicious way.
I really feel sorry for Eudora, who appears to be the moderator of this forum. The Eudora posts are incoherent and sound very much like the writer has some brain damage.
Nihil..., Dysfunction, Paul, Puppy, Luke- I just can't get over the low level of humanity this site attracts.
I'm sorry I stopped by, and I won't be back.
