Timoclea,
You are so well informed.I appreiciate your intelligent input.
it's too late formy child/family,but where do you suggest a parent would find a traditional boarding school?
That is what I thought we were enrolling our child into at the Montana WWASP "school."
That was what we had been sold on his behalf.

Google "prep schools"
http://www.schools.com/ I found this site from a quick Google. "prep schools" seems to be what to search for to get real schools and not BM facilities.
The difference is that these schools are accredited as "college preparatory schools."
I looked through to see if some of the "troubled teen" boarding schools were on this site's list and so far I haven't found even one.
That's what I would look for---look at the "troubled teen" school lists---the websites that advertise that. "Highly structured environment" is a code phrase that means "behavior modification facility."
Then after you find and make up a list of "troubled teen" boarding schools, find a list of prep schools that *doesn't* include the "troubled teen" places.
TABS (the link I listed above) doesn't list any of the red flag schools I can think of off the top of my head. And their "search by location" list doesn't include third world countries in the foreign country list.

Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.
