***Are you trying to say that Carlbrook and Swift River are bad, abusive programs? Yes, Carlbrook requires wilderness prior to enrollment. It does not have to be SUWS. Hidden Lake has its own captive wilderness program. These schools have strong academics, excellent therapists and are well-run and safe.
Imperfections. An understatement. How is it that you have intimate knowledge of SO MANY programs?
No of course, you don't have to debate the licensing issue. What the public needs to know is that most of the programs you mentioned are not licensed, and techinically should be. They have no government oversight. You may be 'OK' with that, I think a parent has the right to know that minor detail.
I am very curious to know what you would tell a parent. BTW, they aren't licensed by the state because....
Do you have experience with HLA? I do. Two unpleasnat years. And I beg to differ with you on all points you made:

Show me a school- any kind of school- that is perfect.
The young man who left Carlbrook at 18 (in your link) is but one voice. Do you really think he is representative?
I am not going to go into the licensing debate. There are many reasons why a business of ANY kind chooses to resist licensing requirements. I have been involved in these kind of disputes in totally unrelated industries. It does not mean that they have something to hide or want to run an abusive organization. "

You seem to parse words similar to the way a lawyer might. Are you a lawyer by chance?

That's my guess.
