Late 1980's / Early 90's Description of RMA (cedu of the north) academics They were piss poor. Most of the teachers were ordinary at best. The cedu faculty made it clear to the academic teachers that the students were a bunch of emotional basket cases that needed to pass. So the few good teachers were prevented from doing any actual real teaching. The classes were easy. Academics were only in place so that CEDU could have accredidation and hand out diplomas. Plenty of parent's who were on the fence would have probably opted out of sending their kid there if they were going to shell out $100k and not get a diploma.
Month 1-3 = 2 classes a week. Tuesday & Thursday afternoons. Poetry and mortensen math . Mortensen math was a joke. It was lego visuals for mongloids math. Poetry as in bullshit poetry that we wrote about our feelings. We never studied any real poetry.
http://www.mortensenmathdirect.com/Month 4-12 = slightly better classes but still a joke. Watercoloring and cartoons for the emotionally challenged.
Month 12- 28 = "real" classes. Ordinary high school classes. It was such a relief to be in the upper school and be in 'real' classes. Again, compared to your average public high school the classes were not challenging. They were watered down to the point that an oranguatan could pass them.
In 89 they completed the Emmerson academic builing at RMA. This significantly improved the academic program. Before
Emmerson many classes were in the same rooms as raps. Those rooms suck. When you're in those rap rooms you can't help but feel agitated. You look at the carpet and wonder how much snot is cooked into the fibers.
what the inside of one of the institutions might look like?RMA looked like a country lodge. Everything was made out of wood. Woodgrain, woodgrain and more woodgrain. Paths were lined with circular stones (not the rectangular masonry you see at high end resorts). Each builidng was heated by wood burning fire stoves. The buildings were painted brown or tan on the outside if painted at all. The inside of the rooms was not painted. All natural wood.
What does a dorm room look like?Most were 6 man configurations. 3 bunk beds and 3 bunk foot lookers. Closets had no doors. Each dorm shared a bathroom with another 6 man dorm. 3 showers, 3 toilets for 12 students
Not white padded & not lavish.
Rap & propheet roomsThey had 20+ black plastic chairs with silver legs. Uncomfortable. There isn't a graduate alive that doesn't cringe at the site of one. Each rap had 2-3 comfy wood chairs with cushions for the staff.
raps lasted 4-5 hours. Lighting was normal except the workshops. During the workshops they put sheets over all the windows.
