I know.  It accounts for his believing that there is a need for programs such as this.  THIS is how he views kids.  What in the world would these parents DO without the precious programs?  Gee, I wonder how anyone survived adolescence before the advent of them?

Adolescence is not a pathology you fucking idiot!

With more idiots like WHO around, it's only a matter of time until it is though, if it already has not happened.

Maybe most kids raised by YOU. I don't want to go to work, but I do. Most kids that don't want to go to school still do. A good many do want to go. Really, where do you come up with this shit?

I believe you probably go to work because you have to and kids go to school because they are told to.  If given the option of staying home and getting a paycheck or a child staying home and playing a game boy etc.  which would the 2 of you choose.  If you don?t go to work or the child to school there are fairly severe consequences, going broke, losing your house, Child getting grounded, DSS taking your kid away etc.

I took off from my high school all the time. I got a detention or suspension.

I am sure each school is different.  You could get away with it once, at my high school, but the second time you left school in the middle of the day or ran off, you were gone.  Public schools, I believe is more flexible because they have to take everyone or at least most kids.

If a kid 'walks away' from ASR (not that I really believe they can) they're immediately kicked out?


This is what I was told and I will stand corrected if someone who knows the rules better can clarify this for us.  I would be interested to know for sure, myself.  I believe you are given a warning and if you continue to walk off or not participate in school etc. you get kicked out.
I do know they can walk off because my daughter did it, there is no question there.

As for the big public high school here, if you  miss classes 6 times, you automatically fail the course and have to retake it.

As for being kicked out of ASR for walking off,
(and it is very easy for any kid who wants to, no fences..),in some cases the kid is expelled. Many times, they are given a second chance. ANY student there knows these rules and it is one of the easiest ways to be kicked out if one wants to(other than breaking the sex, violence and drug agreements). ASR is NOT a lock-down facility.

Also, it is current policy not to accept escorted kids. They must walk in with their parents (albeit none are too happy about being sent to ANY program).

Not a lock down?  I didn't know that.  So kids can go off-campus (sic) and visit their parents for the holidays? If they run they aren't caught and forced back to the facility, but instead, given a chance to talk to child protective services or law enforcement if they so request?

Actually, they are allowed to visit with parents for the winter holidays. They are also allowed to request extra home visits for special occasions (for instance mine was just home for his sister's graduation).

I am assuming that your sarcastic comment was referring to walking off of campus WITHOUT permission from either the school OR their parents.Yes,the authoritues are called to ensure that the student is safe until either A- ASR allows them to return to the school or B- their parents come to retrieve them to home, wilderness (again) or a lockdown.
If they are NOT expelled, then it is the parents' decision as to where the kid goes from there- as they are legally responsible for them until they turn 18. Don't blame the school for what parents choose.
Again, should a kid want out of ASR, all they need do is walk away!

Well alrighty then - start walking kids!  Except where are they supposed to walk and what happens if their parents pull the proverbial "EXIT PLAN" on them?  It's my way or the highway?  Do they at least get a few bucks to catch a bus home or call a friend or relative?

The phone company has an option, called calling COLLECT! The school is not out in the middle of nowhere- there are pay phones nearby.

Again, it is the parents decision what happens should a student choose to walk.

Hopefully if the kids decides to walk, they can call a friend collect and have them come get 'em or wire them some money.

Sure beats the alternative.

Is this "walk free" policy posted in the kids' dorms, bathrooms, cafeterial, everywhere you'd expect to see such an important policy?

No panic locks on the doors?  No motion detectors in the hallways?  Wow.

Thanks!

So in other words, one kid might get some support from a parent, while another kid gets jack shit.

Yeah, that's some WALK FREE policy.

Who you kidding here program parent?

It is called a therapeutic boarding school-
obviously meant for therapy and school
it is not JUVIE or a 24 hour lockdown center

you don't give the kids enough credit- of course they know that they are free to leave, legally speaking

You seem to be evading the issue that it is the parent's responsibility, not ASR's or the kids.
all I am saying is yes, they are free to walk,
whatever consequences that happen after that are not up to the school (unless of course the student chooses to stay). If you want out just WALK!

Same as any other boarding school, what do you want?  Scheduled buses?
He/She said they can leave anytime the kids want to or they can stay at school.
Simple, I dont know how they can do more.

what a parent chooses to do support their kid or get jack-shit is the luck of the draw- you can choose your friends but not your parents
unless of course, the kid wants to go to court to be emancipated.............

Sure, why can't the kid use the school van to be transported off the grounds by the school safely to the local bus station or airport?  Hell, their parents paid enough for their therapuetic boarding, surely there's a slush fund somewhere.

I'm sorely tempted to go to ASR with a megaphone and a bus.
