The Troubled Teen Industry / Another Debate?
« on: February 20, 2004, 05:17:00 PM »
I tutor on my own hours based on a student's individual needs.  It's about part-time; sometimes in the morning, other times it's afternoon, tonight I'm going in from 5:30 til 8.  I prefer morning and evening so that's when I usually try to go.

A fair trial.

Doesn't conviction at a trial require proof beyond a reasonable doubt?  I KNOW that most of these kids are masters at manipulation.  And they are very lovable kids.  It is a rare jury that wouldn't be swayed.  Hence, back to their destructive ways with the knowledge that they can pull the wool over anyone's eyes.

Don't you realize, though, that a lot of these kids would end up in STATE or FEDERAL incarceration if their lives continued on as is?

btw, I've been silently reading for a little while, never posted before.  

I'm a tutor at one of these programs and I've seen firsthand the successes that kids make of themselves when they work up through the levels.  I really enjoy my kids.  :smile:

I can't see the comparison between these schools - at least mine - and concentration camps.  If mine is so completely different, how many others are as well?

You are so antagonistic, Deborah.  Why, when the WWASP organization has many different schools, each with their own leadership and style, do you insist on lumping them all together in your hate?  

Are you all for a totally au naturel program that would have children making love and singing songs of peace?  Or can you agree that wayward kids who have lived their teen years so far with manipulation, lies, drugs, sex for sale, etc., would need a little more structure and discipline?
