World Wide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools (WWASPS) / Re: turning leaves

I know them, and I'm posting. Sex on campus? Pure BS. And considering you know everything you need to, how about the fact that Glen never worked at SCL? Or the fact that Mike wasn't let go, but chose to leave so he could do his book tour? How about the fact that SCL people had nothing to do with the new program . . . it was a bunch out of California who set it up as a non-profit. It included at least one disgruntled parent of a kid that went to another MT program--nothing to do with SCL. Worthy morals might include not badmouthing folks you don't know anyhing about.


Who are you Mr(s). Anon?

OR

What is your relation? Which is probably more informative.

Great idea for a poster but you may want to check your spelling and grammer.....


Grammar...

Guest is right. The poster is a good idea but it needs to be edited by a native speaker and probably a former student.

"We" would look like assholes and make it easier for WWASPS to marginalize us.

It seems like there is more, and more bad press in regards to WWASPS. Randall Hinton being the latest. You have Self-Medicated that was just released, the Tranquility Bay movie, the 2008 elections that have Mitt Romney (with a very good chance) of representing the republican party (which at that time the democrats will out the Romney/Lichfield relationship).

It looks as if all this is going to come to a head. I have a feeling that we are going to see some of the leaders of WWASPS  behind bars, and the light shined not only on WWASPS practices......but, the industry as a whole in 2008.

What do you think? Am I crazy?

It sounds like you're saying if Romney were nominated it would be a great chance for somebody to attack his Lichfield associations.  The problem of course would be if he managed to get elected... WWASPS can be pretty good at PR, too.  It could also backfire if they managed to turn their 'response' into an advertisement for themselves.

If there were a serious attack campaign how hard would it be for Romney to either drop his associations or defend them as 'parent's choice'.  Who could possibly be against a parents right to choose what they want to do with their kid??
Parent's don't have the right to abuse their kids.  Parents also have a responsibility to take care of those who they are responsible for.


Of course that's easy for 'us' to say, but how many parents are going to say to themselves 'yeah, you know what, I want to be able to choose what I want for my kids - they're mine!'?

World Wide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools (WWASPS) / now I know the truth

The "people" who use this website are nothing more than carefully constructed false personalities with agendas.
Original poster- be careful who you trust with your information and who claim to contact you with a sympathetic ear and claim to want to help.
They have their own agendas that need abuse stories like yours to exist, they are sick sick people.


I'm really curious about this.  Who is this as a person?  Why do they want me to think this?  Is this a WWASP who doesn't want me to tell anybody anything?  Is this a genuinely concerned anonymous?  What kind of sick person needs abuse stories to exist, and what what would their agenda be?

It's pretty easy for me to just hate her guts right now.  It's unrelated to this board but this isn't the only thing I've just found out that she's kept hidden from me.  What's difficult is to not be able to tell her why my eyes are so red and my lip is trembling when I walk past her.  My parents are separated and moving out right now seems like a pretty healthy idea.  I can't say this is all because of the school but it's definitely a huge part of it.

Just to be clear: I can't honestly say I was anything but mentally abused.  The only time anybody touched me their was on my fourth day when my family rep punched me in the gut while I was in line.  While you're in line you're not allowed to move or make any noise - I didn't.  The worst part for me being there was feeling betrayed and abandoned.  I didn't resist much, but they knew I wasn't taking any of it in.  "Your mother signed a contract saying you'd be here till you graduated the program," "we've had lots of kids like you before - they all eventually gave in and 'worked their programs."

It's pretty tough being denied all your rights and once they're gone it's near impossible to get them back.  How do you get the right to free speech without being able to say what's on your mind? Peaceable assembly without being able to organize?

I'll let myself cool down first.  I've got some difficult questions to ask her.
