we have been given a gift that gave us the tools to have a successful family life. Success is always a personal definition, but I do know, even if I tried, really tried, I could never be the same parent I was prior to our program experience. I'm not making the same mistakes with my other son.
I never felt sleep deprived, I had 8 hours of sleep a night, what I felt was a huge weight had been lifted from my back. I had carried around a lot of garbage for a long time. For those not willing to take a deep look at their own lives, I can see where the process of digging deep would be not only uncomfortable, but impossible.
It only works for those that are willing to change.
We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again---and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.

Does anyone else find it interesting that the two separate unhappy parents Tim reported on in the article are both lawyers?

I find this very interesting. I have to wonder, what kind of attorney would sign the contract WWASP school's provide? I am not an attorney, yet I could see that any parent who signed it was basically signing over their rights to be informed about the decisions being made regarding their child.

The marketing and the lies of WWASP are what we are all fighting against. Why do you put down those of us that were taken in by it? Why aren't you supporting us for trying to help others so that they don't go through what we and our children did?

Can you honestly say that you would have never fallen into what we did if you were the one trying to find a place for your child?
I wouldn't either. I was never told that I couldn't have contact with my child.
I, as many others, thought that we were sending them to a boarding school. A wonderful place where they would experience wonderful things.

It continues to amaze me to talk to law students -- college
graduates all and smarter than the average bear -- who will
seriously tell me about how dangerous mj is and how it
destroys the lives of those who use it and who, in the
very next sentence, will tell me how they and their
friends -- now CPAs, engineers, med students -- used
pot regularly through high school and college. And
they don't see the contradiction between these statements.
We're not just talking ignorance here -- we are talking

Being sleepy can impair someone's ability to do thier job. People
can sleep at home and come to the job with sleepiness still in their system. The sleepiness can still be there long after the employee has slept. When someone is found to be sleepy on the job, they can claim that they went to sleep the night before. The only solution to this problem is to ban employees from sleeping.
