What you don't seem to realize, Anon, is that these behavior mod programs can be far more dangerous than letting the kid rage (as you put it) Never mind the pretty lies the brainwashed salesmen tell you.

You often hear that no one can force another to change their behavior or belifs. The person has to have the will to change. That's not precisely true. You just have to break their will.

If you don't have the heart to do that to your own child (and I'm hoping you don't, though I've met some Program parents w/ a sadistic bent) then you have no business paying someone else to do it.

There is no sure fire, guaranteed way to force your kid to be and act like whatever your ideal my be. Anyone who tells you differently is not telling the truth. They mey believe it's true when they say it, even w/ all their hearts. But it still isn't true. You might just as well drink gallons of expensive magical mineral water. Your belief that it will make you well or smarter or whatever doesn't make it so. It just makes slick salesmen wealthy.

But, in this case, we're not talking about your personal choices w/ your own body. We're talking about a radical, often harmful, unproven "therapy" you inflict on your nearly grown child very much against their will.

You want to talk about legal and domestic nightmares? Walk a mile in my shoes! I never found a magical mystery cure when my daughter scared hell out of us. We just did exactly what I advise others to do. We kept the door open and, when she decided she'd had enough of the BS, she came back home. I don't know if the damage done is more or less than what she would have gotten in a program. I do know that 1) she was able to escape it the minute she decided to screw up the courage and sneak out w/ the psycho boyfriend was sleeping and 2) there's no confusion over who did what.

A student burst into his office.  "Professor Stigler, I don't believe I deserve this F you've given me."  To which Stigler replied, "I agree, but unfortunately it is the lowest grade the University will allow me to award."

What these parents don't seem to understand is abusive programs are ruled by fear and intimidation.  Kids are not taught to learn from their mistakes ... they are taught that until they LEARN TO LOVE THE PROGRAM, they will never go home.

That's some message isn't it?  LOVE YOUR ABUSERS.

Ginger, you have an uncanny knack for cutting through the bullshit. :silly:

I am a Teacher at Darrington and have visited there guite frequently.  First of all, the administration there is excellent.  They truly care about the well being and the growth of every individual.  I have taught in public school for eight years.  After teaching at such a remarkable school such as Darrington, I will regret returning to public school.  I see passion in the way the students are cared for.  The students get all the help in classes they want and more.  I do not know of a public school in which a teacher can sit with a student one on one for 20 plus minutes daily and make sure they understand a concept.  I do know that some of these students are sent to school for different reasons, but after a student spends about a month or so (if the student cares about themselves) I really see improvement.  The student goes from being a child to a remarkable youth.  I hate that you did not have that experience.  Perhaps you were immature and not ready to turn your life around and accept the help and structure in life you deserved.  Did you ever graduate?  Did you stay out of trouble when you returned?  Have you been in jail since?  I hope that you read this carely.  You will not find a facility in which all staff members care for a student and urge them to succeed in school and in life. By the way, if you need the real pictures of the awesome facility, volleyball courts, basketball court, the school itself, you need not hide or drive by to take them.  They don't do the facility justice.

WOW another "TEACHER" who can not spell.
Just what we need in this society of ours!

That wasn't a teacher, it was a Troll.  "I hope you read this carely" is far too ignorant a phrase for educated folk.  I smell a Utah hick with inbred Litchfield blood lines.
