Positive MMS emperience

More important: What credentials does Mike and Deb hold? What are their qualifications for this job? What is their education?
These so-called "schools in the teen help business" continually employee people without teaching, psychological, or counseling degrees.
The MMS website TODAY advertises it is "fully accredited." Who accredits this schoool? Do they employ certified teacheres in each core subject? AND are all core subjects offered to student?
Are parents provided an "educational plan" and a "therapy plan" for each child to assure that their academic and psychological/emotional needs are being met?
What does the "contract" promise? Are all these promises fulfilled?

Mike and Deb no longer work at the school, no longer live in Montana, and no longer work in the field. They had an extreme tragedy in their lives and aren't affecting the girls at MMS any longer. Lets leave them be... they are humans, their own son took his own life. They got out of the theraputic boarding school situation and I'm sure are just trying to move on and heal. They took care of their son, but there's only so much you can do once your child is an adult and responsible for themselves. No one knows the whole story here, so to blame the parents is sick. A boy committed suicide at my college about a year ago... he was an adult.... his parents were aware of his depression, of his suicidal thoughts. He was even taken out of school for a semester to get back on track. He came back with every intention of living but wasn't strong enough. He took his life in his dorm room and I don't think one person blamed it on his parents. He was living on his own, his parents tried to help but you can only do so much!

Everyone has compassion for anyone who has a child die from suicide.
The questions still need to be answered:
What credentials does XYZ have who is employed to teach and offer counseling to students at MMS?
Are core classes were and ARE being taught at MMS? WERE and Are the teachers certified?
What agency accredits MMS?
Are parents given an "academic plan" and a "therapy plan" for the students at MMS?
Do the owners keep ALL the promises made in the contract with the parents?
Did the "contractual agreement" include an "corporal punishment?"

In my opinion, anyone who couldn't give their own child even the bare minimum care, understanding and help to prevent suicide should not enter into the business of saving other people's children. That's both heartless and brainless!

Please I agree with one the anonymous users. Lets LEAVE THEM ALONE....
I live a few hours from Mike and DEb and please they are trying to just live day to day. One of my bestfriends from MMS (who lost her parents) is very close with them and so far they are okay.
STOP with M&D they no longer are a part of the school and to an extent of how they were treated when they wanted to leave no longer talk to other founding staff. They don't want to hear about the school or be viewed as MMS....they are just mike and deb.
