Concern for a "student"
Anonymous:
They don't have tents- at least not in most programs. They earn tarps. You need a lot of gear when it is 0 degrees! They have clothes, sleeping bags, eating utensils, fire starting kit (that they make themselves).
Dysfunction- you are so amazingly ignorant and off-base. Do you really think you know all the parents who are posting here? Please go back into treatment and stop being an asshole.

Dysfunctional- You have absolutely no idea what kind of parents anyone who posts on these boards might be. Your anger and hatred colors your judgement so completely that you are making a total fool out of yourself. It is a shame that you continue to ruin whatever constructive dialogue might occur on this forum.
Look, we are all sorry that you are a failure and that your criminal record haunts you. We're sorry you are lonely and sad. But why the angry attacks on parents? Do you honestly think these people, who are most likely nowhere near this board anymore, care what your opinion of them might be?
I wish Ginger would talk to you privately, because you are really ruining the intent of this website.

I wasn't asking what students are issued. I am asking what do you think they need? Lets say in desert conditions between 20F and 90F.
This post isnt directed at anyone in particular. Im just curious since theres been discussions about students gear not being adequate, Im wondering what might be considered adequate.

Do the programs teach people to call others failures or assholes? I would not want to send a child into a program to learn to speak to others that way.
Or perhaps this is your professional diagnosis: asshole.

Dysfunction thats what our systems is based on. Look at the price of gas and Exxon mobile is having record profits. If we still continue to fill up our cars at the same rate the price will continue to rise, if we cut back the price will drop.
If TBS's want to charge $10,000 per day, let them. Its not alot of money for some people and people who cant afford it would move on to other alternatives. Bottom line is the price is set by what people are willing to pay, not by the companies doing the selling.
