There is a point to all of this. Ottawa5 and her clone daughter are out here defending an abusive program, one they have no 1st hand experience with or any real knowledge of. We are simply giving them both a very miniscule taste of exactly what it is they are defending. My comments are no less insensitive or demeaning than the abuse we all endured on a daily basis at Cedu. Only we did not have the luxery of reading them on a computer screen and being able to respond in kind. To the contrary, we had groups of 20 to 30 people lining up to scream such abuses in our face on a daily basis. We weren't given the opportunity to respond, any protests we vocalized were completely drowned out by more screams and abuse! Our feelings about it didn't matter, neither did our dignity,individuality, the truth, or whats right and wrong for that matter. All that mattered was Cedu's "holier than thou" bullshit philosophy. Cedu made baseless, false, and demeaning personal assumptions about us all the time. We knew they weren't true, but the truth never mattered to Cedu anyways. Cedu used intimidation, threats, screaming, unusual and cruel punishments, and pure psychological torture, to label us, break us down, and drill these false truths into our heads, all so they could mold us in "Cedu's Image".
(Ottawa5) Whether you will admit to it or not, i believe that my comments and assumptions about you and your family are starting to get to you. I'm positively sure that Ottawa 2 is offended by me. Good! Now take this resentment you are begining to feel and multiply it by at least 10,000, and you may begin to get an idea of how people like myself, Bryan Felscher, Oppositional Defiance, Pixie Dust, and thousands of other former Cedu students felt every second of every day for the entire duration of our respective stays at cedu (in my case, 1 year and 7 months).
(Ottawa5) your daughter has made it clear that she finds my derogatory comments about her dyslexia offensive. Had your daughter attended Cedu, I assure you that staff would've used that information to cut her to pieces with it on a daily basis. They would've labeled her a "retard" (as well as slut, and god knows what else) and would continuously force that belief upon her with their terror tactics, until she finally broke down and believed it herself. And at that moment when she had completely broken down, and couldn't feel any more hopeless or have a lower opinion of herself, cedu would offer her salvation in the cedu way, and force her to accept that this is the only way of fixing all of her problems. In this moment of complete vulnerability, she would do exactly that, and thus would now be ripe for reprogramming.
Ottawa5 this is what cedu did to your son, and what they tried to do to me, and countless other kids. Your son was never broken in the first place, they just made him believe he was, which is why he accepted cedu with open arms.
Cedu is a cult, with a long history of mind fucking people. Is this really the way that you want to "help" children?
