WWASP schools really are not good. My oldest son's best friend was there for I think a few months. I also knew a parent who sent their son there as well. It was the one in Samoa. It is now closed down due to abuse, I mean REAL abuse. I don't know much about Straight, but I have heard things about them also. No experience here, though. I only know personally kids that went to WWASP and they are now 22 years old. That's all I can honestly contest to, except, of course, hearsay from the internet.

"Antigen, you have to believe that some people really are happy with where they are. Not all the kids are programmed. They really aren't stupid. I was completely comfortable with the surroundings when I was there. Maybe it's not for you and yours, but for some it is and they're happy. It's very obvious you yourself have alot of anger. Is Whitmore the only one you pick on?"

You're mistaken. I really am not angry w/ the Sudweeks. I feel anguish for the families caught up in this, especially the kids. I see the way they're attacking each other and I know just what that's like. It all looks very similar to what happened in The Seed and Straight, though different in some ways.

They don't seem very happy to me. And the ones who are speaking out w/o the approval of the Sudweeks tell a story that explains why and that makes sense. I'll tell you something else. When my daughter became involved w/ an over controling, abusive young man, she swore up and down that she was happier than she'd ever been and was doing just exactly what she wanted. Thank GOD she came to her senses and got away from him before he went too far. I respect kids. I understand from my own experience how important it is to listen and pay attention to them. But, as adults, we must understand that they don't always know what's best for themselves.

And no, Whitmore is not the only place I "pick on". Just look around these forums. I host all of them. I ask questions about a lot of these places. It just happens that people are talking about Whitmore these days. Fish where the fishin's good.

The time appears to me to have come when it is the duty of all to make their dissent from religion known.
