Thanks Deborah, that's exactly what I meant and I agree wholeheartedly with DJ.

The Ridge Creek School / Hidden Lake Academy / Methods and Techniques

Any positive reinforcement or reward system is so insignificant as to be inconsequential. I don't think it takes B.F.Skinner to see that.

We are "going to get our children" and you're simplifying the predicament. Taking them out of HLA without a plan is not an option. In fact, it would be a worse mistake than HLA was. We want our kids to graduate from high school, stay off drugs and alcohol, refrain from abusive relationships, get the medical help they need, etc. Those problems still exist with our kids and our kids still need help. If you have any suggestions for alternative boarding schools or other programs I would love to hear them.

I understand that they are dealing with kids, and kids with "issues" to boot. Security is an issue on any campus and HLA needs to take special precautions. On the other hand, wouldn't it be wonderful if there was something positive about the school to entice kids to stay? These children, some of whom have never been "runners", leave campus in the middle of the night, dark as pitch, out in the middle of nowhere with no money and no where to go. There is something wrong with that picture. Why is it acceptable to a therapeutic boarding school for the vast majority of their students to absolutely detest it there? Would it be so wrong to use positive reinforcement techniques rather than punishment?

HLA appears to be very good at keeping the parents in the dark but we are learning. Right Juniper? It sure seems like the same things are happening now as when you were there, Deborah. There is strength in numbers; we're becoming enlightened; but we gotta get our kids out before we can do anything. My child confirmed the strip searches and a lot of other things posted on this web site.
