I think that the person that wrote the following should reread his/her post:
Why don't you send them to a Cedu like school, it didn't seem to phase you while you were there and they can make some really long lasting friends. Sure they are going to get yelled at but that's okay metal abuse will make them stronger and they can focus on more postive things later in life.
I heard some really great horror stories about such places like Tranquility Bay and Casa by the Sea, but its all myth right bad things don't happen in WWASP Schools or if they do they're not that bad? Doesn't make a difference to an individual stuck in a situation like that because there are more horrors in the world than a place like Cedu, so what we all went through should be dismissed because it wasn't that bad? Perhaps for you and you came to terms with it, maybe your kids will too.
None of it makes any sense. Why would I send my kids to a CEDU school??? And when did I ever say that being at RMA never phase me? Also, why is it wrong that I made some great friends? And when did I say that it was OK to suffer mental abuse? Or that such abuse would then allow you to focus on more positive things as an adult?
Nor have I said that any of the abuse allegations are myth. I, too, have heard some horror stories about Tranquility Bay and Casa by the Sea. When did I mention that the things that have gone on at the WWASP Schools were not that bad?
If these programs are as bad as most folks say they are... and I have not questioned any of the personal stories or anyones integrity.... then why isn't the anger and negative energy focused on changing these injustices? Eliminating the abuse? I would think that those that have been through it would have the strongest arguments... would be viewed as more credible as those that have not been through it. I would think that the passion behind the "mission" could be a powerful one based on some of the posts that I have read here.
I am also trying to understand why folks "hang on" to the negatives of CEDU. I have never said what was done was not wrong or bad, but when do you move on??? When is it time to focus that energy elsewhere? Or maybe it is only on FORNITS that this stuff is ever discussed in your life... maybe this is only a venting place... where some things are exaggerated or blown up. Maybe it is jsut a small outlet in others lives. Maybe a combination of it all. I DON"T KNOW. (read that again)
I think that I am pretty open about "reading" what everyone else says. I have NEVER attacked anyone for their stories. I have never questioned anyone regarding their own experiences, why would others choose to "attack" me when I don't write angry posts about how fucked up CEDU was and how it fucked up my life?

The balance of a constructive forum is way off.
