--- Quote from: "Ursus" ---
--- Quote from: "Wh??ter" ---Another "unpublished", unverifiable "report".  You gotta love Fornits!  Even if this were true, which is open to question, it would only prove that this kid needs to be there and places like RCS are in fact necessary to help these trouble teens.

Yes, there needs to be places that can help kids like this. It's just that Ridge Creek School is apparently not one of them.
--- End quote ---

Present studies show that 80% of the kids who enter a Therapeutic Boarding School do well and are successful after graduating from the school.  Ridge Creek School has shown that their staff has enjoyed a great track record in turning around At-risk youths in as little as 6 months.

You're a real card, Phooter. You chide people for posting what you call non-verifiable statements, and then you make up your own. I have to say that yours are much more dramatic, and much more ridiculous, than anything I've seen posted here since... well, since some of your previous posts. Show me, please, where you get the "facts" in the above quoted post.

BTW, Phooter, whatever happened to Edward Kahn?

--- Quote from: "Wh??ter" ---This was a study conducted surveying 1,000 parents and graduates of a few programs.  The study was overseen by WIRB (The Western Institutional Review Board) and they also approved the study.  The results were presented at the Annual meeting of the APA American Psychological Association.

I'm not acquainted with Edward Kahn, DEE.

And guess who provided funding for the study: Aspen Education Group.

Whooter - back up YOUR claim: Ridge Creek School has shown that their staff has enjoyed a great track record in turning around At-risk youths in as little as 6 months.

No need to get so angry, Guest3.

My biggest surprise was that I really began to like it here. I feel a part of something that is really good for me. I learn every day. I discover new things about myself everyday. It's weird, but great. Also, I discovered that the staff really cares. This isn't just a job for them. They like helping kids learn and grow. Finally, and this is probably the biggest surprise, you can change. You can learn from mistakes and let go of the past and change.

We can all agree that the staff at RCS has had great success with turning around these trouble teens.  It is well documented.

Not angry at all, Whooter. I'd like to say that I'm surprised that you aren't able to back up your false claims, but yet again your only "proof" is twisting words. You continue to have the same MO - it's actually getting boring and tiresome. Oh, and again, posting a link to RCS's web site is not proof of great success in turning kids' lives around.

Guest3:
So you measure success by one student's supposed testimonial? And how about the fact that RCS is still using testimonials from when it was HLA on their parent testimonials link? Talk about grasping at straws! They're still use the testimonial from Patrick Kennedy's mom - and how is Patrick? He committed suicide soon after leaving HLA. Ya, Whooter. Great success there.

“There are no words to express my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for all that you have done for my son. To say that the school's efforts on his behalf have been extraordinary is some what of an understatement. The opportunities that he has been given has helped develop in ways that I could not have imagined. All of the counselors and all the staff have helped to give my son and me a remarkable foundation on which we will continue to grow.

This has been a journey not just for my son, but for me as well. I looked forward to the parent workshops and I always found the staff support and activites we participated in to be very beneficial. I will miss going down to the lake in the morning before workshops to pray and meditate. It always made me feel so peaceful and comforted to be there.
Thank you for all that you have done.”[attachment=0:o4pp4rtq]Parent Testimonials - Teen Success - Ridge Creek School.pdf[/attachment:o4pp4rtq]
