i personally think that site is a low blow to many of the staff working there and also just plain cruel. i dont think the way any of them look or what their race is is relevant to how "awful hla is".
i was especially offended when i saw what my counselors had been described as and the pictures that went along with them. those people had opened the doors to their home for us not once, not twice, but three times, even after someone in my pg was caught for taking something from the house.
and dont even get me started on the things that were written about beau. he is probably the kindest most amazing person i have ever met in my life and there are plenty of people, even current students at hla, that agree with me.
i havent been reading all these posts long enough to even begin to figure out who made that site, but common sense tells me that it was someone who hasnt ever even crossed paths with half of those people.
sure, there were times when i got sick of the place and annoyed with staff who i felt were a constant nag. but i got over it. not once was i ever abused, either physically or emotionally. sometimes the staff have bad days and can be extra annoying...but guess what? they're human. thats no reason to be humiliated on the world wide web.
i wasnt at hla "back in the day" when restrictions only got a cheese sandwich or whatever, but i heard stories. if any of those stories are true then just let me say that hla isnt like that anymore. i didnt love it there but it was liveable and i even made some friends along the way.
i know im not gonna change yalls minds about the school, but dont be so cruel towards those that did their best to make things a little better there.
