As a graduate of the TAR program I would like to say that it originally was a really great place to be. The guy who started that program was a really caring a exceptional person. I had a wonderful experience there and am happy my parents sent me off. It seems that after it was sold to the Aspen Ed group it has gone down hill and they have removed many of the really great thing I was able to do when I went to that program. I have not heard great reports from any graduates since TAR was sold to Aspen.
I would like everyone to know that at one time it really was a good program.

i got high every week my last few months at hidden lake academy.
and....
yup thats about it.
oh yeah, i got all in touch with nature at my wilderness and now i'm a full-blown tree-hugging pot-smoking shroom-gobbling hippie. and i also now have reliable drug connections from new york to san fransisco and everywhere in between.
the law of unintended consequences is the only source of positive experiences at programs.

You sound centered and doing well, good for you!! Everyone gets something different out of the same experiences, it is so interesting to listen to different perspectives.
Thanks for posting.

My son had a positive experience at Second Nature. Even as much as he hated the subsequent program (Carlbrook), he still is really positive about 2N.

There was a place in Maine called Franklin Academy that I went to the year it started. I really liked it for the first few months but things got kinda out of control when they had to make major changes to get state funding.
I think it is a boys school now. I don't know how it is now, they hopefully learned from their mistakes the first year.
Even though, in the end I had some bad experiences there, I can't help but wish them luck. They had for the most part, very good intentions, they just needed to think harder to handle certain situations they were not ready for..

How long ago was THAT? I'm not getting any relevant hits at all Googling "Franklin Academy" Maine.

Franklin Academy:
This guy Geller who worked at Elan in Maine, didn’t like the way Elan was treating the kids so he left and started his own place in the mid 1980’s
Here is a link from a recent article (originally published in 1988):
Franklin Academy Article (http://http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=940DE5D91139F936A35755C0A96E948260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all)

It was a long time ago, and I got extremely angry about my situation for a while there, but somehow I can only dig up positive feelings for the Rabbi and his intentions.
I think, now my memory is foggy, that we started having problems after the state implimented this "least restrictive enviroment" rule in order to recieve state funding, and we started getting kids straight from juvenile detention centers. The staff was trying to deal with all these new issues and as a girl it began to feel like an unsafe enviroment to me.
I am told it is a "Boys Home" now, which I think would be a positive. I've tried to google it to find out how it is or if it changed it's name but could find very little on it.
I'd definately look into it if you are looking for alternatives, as they have been around a while now and have probably learned and changed a great deal since I was there that first year. (Be careful, they could be part of Aspen now for all I know)

I think people should really look hard for alternatives before sending their child away somewhere where they cannot contact them. A friend of mind just got her GED at 16 and went to community college and she is doing much better now.

Yes, usually all that's necessary to "cure" these kids is to have their gross parents cut ties as ,uch as possible

Lucky you, I guess! Straight was about the LAST place on Earth I would have wanted to be high at, at least on any given "normal" day... Talk about a buzzkill...being high in that place would have been a total mindfuck for me, I'm sure....
But I agree about that unintended consequences thing.. :wink:

No one may break the Law of Unintended Consequences, much as no one may break the Second Law of Thermodynamics or the Third Law of Motion. The universe, and society, only cares about what happens, not what you intend to happen or what you will think will happen.
Failure to recognize even the most basic understanding of this is the reason retarded parents keep on sending their kids away.
