An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

yeah they did from 2002-2004 as well, but ehy only use them in pretty extreeme cases (unlike Ridge Creek, where ive seen a kid restrained just for refusing to follow direction).

there was cross talk some times, sometimes it was one at a time, depending on what was going on, but usually it was cross talk, and everyone was required to participate (I got sent to ridge creek largely for not participating in reals) It could get pretty confrontational, but a lot of that was dependant on the specific councelors, some where more confrontational than others.  But usually there was a alot of throwing peoples problems in thier face and things of that nature, and of course alll of the participants where supposed to call people on thier "bullshit" even when it wasnt really bullshit.  And yeah people really did have to divulge thier darkest secrets and all that (assuming that councelors new about them, but even if they didnt they would always pressure you for more information)  sometimes this was often used in a confrontational manner to get people to "face thier issues" and whatnot, especially if they where being confronted about something bad they did while on campus.

yeah short of occasional meetings with your peer group councelor (more for some than others) there really isnt any individual herapy, its all done in group and pretty much all of your therapy (except for mixed reals) is done by your perr group councelors.

i speculate that there may be something very, very illigal going on here.  Of course what you really need to do is establish a business connection between HLA and that company.  Because this could just be a coincidence, but i highly highly doubt it.

it might also be because they have a new headmaster (he was the school principal at the time i was there) and the old headmaster (father Ingersol) was a big HLA supporter apparently, so that could have something to do with it.

yeah they kinda have the same thing going with Christ School in Asheville, NC.

in terms of fire code yeah its true and its a major safetey issue, but those glass windows arent exactly sturdy, im pretty sure you could easilly shatter them if you had too, esoecially with the metal chairs they have in the rooms, but yeah theyve never hhad fire drills to my knowledge.

actually, due to the nature of the suit, they may be legally required to tell all parents and studentsover the age of 18 they are being sued, im pretty damn sure that the students arent upset about, well maybe like 5 are, but the majority probably arent.  But yeah I dont think having students brought in to testify would work too well, because most of the suit involves administrative actions that arent nessicarilly related to how the students are treated.  Not to mention that im sure most students could find plenty of bad things to say about the place, especially under the threat of purjury.
