"What do I dare ask was "THe Seed"?

The Seed was the program from which the Semblers ripped off the method for Straight, Inc.

Here's some background:

And here's a forum about it:

Here's a list of (mostly relavent) news items:

Maybe you ar right, I'm sure with all the schools out there there are some bad ones. I only deal with a handful of schools. my company does not get the buisness some of the others do.I personally have not seen anything horrible in the schools i've been to. Not every school that is trying to help kids is evil. That's what you guys don't seem to grasp. Desisto was not a very strict school when i was there. We were allowed to smoke, which i think was wrong. We went off campus with staff on activities every weekend. Unless you were in trouble. There were always about 4 or 5 different things you could sign up for. Movies, go carts, bowling Ect..
We had sports teams that went to other schools to play games, just like a normal school and had teams come to us.As long as we were not in trouble we had thanksgiving vacation and went home for 5 days and Xmas  2weeks and spring 2 weeks. But i also think that was a flaw, i smoked pot on every vacation and when i got out continued till about a year later when i started coke. I eventually got off the drugs by going to those brainwashing AA and NA meetings. I stayed totally clean for about 6 months and felt i was ok. I do drink now, but have not done the other stuff for 18 years and that is when i started working with kids.So you see i never fell into the desisto stuff and am not by anymeans a spokesman for AA. I have seen the people it has helped though.Again AA probbably saved my life.
I'm glad there is someone here that does not hate me. But you might be the only one.I do not wish ill will on anyone either. I guees we will just have to agree to disagree. The one that cares

i'm not really athletic- but i think i would have given anything to get to have sports when i was at desisto- interacting with other schools! that was unheard of- and in the 3 years i was there- i made it home twice- for 5 days each- smoking?- wow- it sounds like any regular boarding school back then- i think the most excitement we got was the roits or getting dragged out of bed at 3 am to shovel snow while it was still snowing!

We were also at Howey Desisto no snow to shovel. We were also alowwed to have music in our rooms and around campus. One kid in my dorm was a DJ and had a full DJ system in his room. The were still levels to go through and we still had allot runaways and Limit structures to deal with. I do remember my dorm being what was called dormed because we had a kid runaway and we had not picked up on it. We had to stay in our dorms and have group meetings until the head of the school said we could stop. all meals in our dorm, and no smoking we were only allowed to smoke in 2 places, the smoking circle and the game room area. We had video games and pool and ping pong. There still were what seemed like 1000 rules and your life was not so fun if you got in trouble. This was over 20 years ago and things have definetly changed. It was as close to a normal school as you could get, we still got strip searched and all our stuff was searched when we came back from vacations, but kids still got stuff through now and then. Gastault therapy was the method used. I could not tell you what that was. Still not sure.
I know that stockbridge was run the same way back then. Howey i believe closed in the late 80's, not because of abuse. There were some real caring and concerned staff and some that were full of it. But such is life.So when someone here trys to tell me what my boarding school experience was based on what they have heard about desisto in the later stages of the school, it kind of pissses me off. Sure i did not want to be there, but i had just put my mom through hell for 2 years and looking back,she had tried everything with me. The worst thing i ever saw at desisto was a 17 year old boy who was rather large beat the shit out of a very small dorm parent and put him in the hospital. The boy was arrested and  taken to jail and never came back to the school. I think his name was Leo. Never saw anything bad happen to a kid. It was a different world then. I think the BM schools of today are what schools like desisto evolved to.
Some of it good and some of it bad. These schools are just 1000 times more strict than the desisto of the past.Again there are things i don't agree with that are done now, but do believe it is better than  the downward spiral most of the kids i see are on. Most have these parents have tried everything.The one that cares

I thought the school did help in some way and I never would have referred to it as a gulag. I did have a lot of problems back then and my parents did try other alternatives to help me.  Do you have any children?  Perhaps you better get your life in order before you start lecturing other people about their parenting skills, you close-minded, judgmental little assholes. By the way, I'm the only one who has the balls to put my name on here.

Oh, maybe your parents should have considered it.  You seem a little angry.  And I don't understand the comment, I shouldn't spout off about things I don't know about, because I DID go there for 2 years so I'm entitled to my opinion.  Anyway, I have a great husband now, 2 beautiful children and not enough time to chat with such a loser as yourself.

Yes, people protecting programs that abuse children makes me quite angry.  I know precisely from whence I speak, dearie.  I was abused in one of those places for 2 years.  You're damn right I'm angry.

So, did you NOT notice the signature or what?  Miss BALLS. :lol:  :lol:
