"Of course not every kid anywhere is a saint,and i am aware that i take aglass 1/2 full approach to people, but I am unaware of any other country in the western world which has private schools or camps primarily designed to either modify or punish kids.
The culture that the websites seem to push particularly Thayer is that if your kid is misbehaving they can either "Modify" them or in extreme cases punish them till they become different people. As well as the obvious things like drug abuse often "A sense of entitlement" or "disrespect" are seen as illnesses that need to be cured. Surely this can be done at home. If a parent has genuinely indulges a kid too much why don't they just stop doing it, and make the kid aware of the plight of someone less well off than them. If the kid is consistently rude by all means penalise this but place the emphasis back on encouraging kids to live within a community not in some detention camp where they are bullied until they urinate on themselves or told that they need fixing and until they are better they do not deserve their families love!
Also why does anyone have the right to try and modify somebody elses personality? All people have good and bad qualities so why not place the emphasis on what is good about your kid. If a kid is materialistic then have them get a summer job where they can save for their first car. It will furnish their ambitions and teach them a work ethic.
If your kid is into "wicca" (another thing that seems to be viewed as evil by many of these programmes) then they are probably creative and a questioner. Find out what it is that they believe in, help them to channel that intellect and get to know their wierdly dressed friends. Who knows? you may just find that they are polite, decent kids who read a lot and are searching for a belief system. it may just be that they like the goth look!
But sending kids to a place that forces them to piss on themselves is not about building a better community! It does not teach anyone to respect their"elders" It just teaches kids that adults are sociopathic bullies and they should obey for their own safety till they are big enough to do the bullying. "
