No I'm calling the Hobbit abuse. The education is just sub-standard and inadequate preparation for college.

"Do you deny that mail to parents are censored?"
Absolutely. What you're confused about here is the level of parent/family involvement. Letters to and from parents are completely private. The only exception is if the PARENT sends a copy to the therapist or family rep.
"Do you deny that education is self paced which is another way of saying no classroom teaching?"
Again, absolutely. Self-paced is your term, and refers only to the speed with which a student completes something. Self-guided describes an individual plan for every child, something private schools have been striving to create for about twenty years. The student gets to run the show, and that's as it should be. Your assumption here seems to be that the teacher is not available. This has no relation to reality.
"Do you deny that isolation is used for punishment?"
Isolation is not used. Period. It is "intervention"--by clinical definition a completely different animal. "
I just had to respond to this. Mail was censord by every staff member I ever had at CCM. Not one letter I sent or recieved was uncensord by a staff memeber. I remember this one horrible staff memeber we had got fired becasue he was writing down girls addresses from their letters and saving them. He had quite a few before they found out and he was fired. He was such a jerk and totally unreasonable, a power hungry ass. He had already done the damage by the time he got fired, it was too little too late.
Ill speak a bit on the education comment as well. I would have really liked it if we had recieved more help with our work by a teacher at CCM. There was a teacher there, but sometimes they didnt even know the answers and would tell me to just look up the right ones. I remember in Geomerty, I really needed a tutor, I was awful at it. I spent 6 months working on 3 chapters or so before my "teacher" just gave up and let me cheat to pass. Id take a test almost every test at least 4 times. What I needed was extra help and someone who knew what they were doing and our math teacher did not. And when you got to the high phase facility, you only had 2 teachers for all the kids there so not alot of individual help there either. It wasnt the worst education ever, but it was pretty close.
And about isolation. Call it whatever you want, your locking a kid up in a small concrete room with no contact with anyone for days is wrong. Even when your out of iso to go eat or go to the bathroom, you cant look at or talk to ANYONE, inclutding the staff member unless its to ask for meds, the bathroom, and other necessities. Ive seen girls get taken down over stupid stuff and end up in iso for long stretches of time. And even when you get out, your back to level 0 0 points and when I was there you went to SH group. Thats just plain WORNG. How can you not see that? I know I was a brainwashed fool at one point to, I banterd on and on about how good the program is and its not abusive and blah blah blah, but after I researched the programs and saw what they do and how they treat patrents and kids, I woke up and realized the truth. WWASP is one big company and they are responsible for the actions of ANY one of those places be it CCM, TB, CSA, it dosnt matter. They preach that a kid is supposed to grow up and be accounatble and integral, but where is their freakin integrity? Where is the accountability for their programs? Why do some people who advocate for programs and say "[insert WWASP program here] wasnt a bad experience for me" look at the bullshit that goes on in other places AND STILL SAY WASSP KNOWS WHAT THEIR TALKING ABOUT AND WHAT THEYRE DOING?
Sorry, I got a bit carried away. It just drives me crazy to hear how people who are most likely not stupid in most other aspects of life, turn into ignorant self righteous morons when it comes to WWASP.
