Thanks, Deborah. I guess I thought the Carlbrook program was a lot different. It appears as though it is not. I think they softened it up a little, but the CEDU elements are there. I can see how it could affect a younger kid more severely than an older one- especially an emotionally hardened kid like my son. Perhaps his very flaws served him well. I really do feel that 2N built on my son's strengths and leadership abilities, just as I can see how these things were negatives at Carlbrook. I got mixed messages though (from C-brook). I think one of the heads could really relate to my son- saw a lot of himself in him. Enough to know that strength/resistance could throw a monkey wrench into things. They liked for things to go smoothly, and that wasn't what my son tended to bring to a community."
