Badpuppy:
Why is the room only four feet wide if you are not using it for punishment? Why do you let kids, who by your definition are troubled, give consequences to other kids that result in longer incarceration. Why do you transfer kids to Tranquility Bay. SCL obviously approves of daily pepper spraying, shoulder dislocation, placing children beyond the protection of US laws, Scrubbing geneitals with steel brushes, OR IT WOULDN'T BE SENDING CHILDREN THERE. If you have a different take on this, I would like to hear about it. [ This Message was edited by: Badpuppy on 2006-05-02 20:10 ]

I wonder if there is a way that we could arrange a fund for interest free loans for children who have taken their exit plans, and how could wel tell them about it. Having the funds there is no use if the children it's intended for don't know about it.
I wonder how much we'd need.


Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic
for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has
happened once in 6000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to
the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail,
there will be anarchy throughout the world.

What it would take would be multiple billboards that said, "Kid leaving SCL?  Need help and money?  Call 800-(something memorable).  We are a non-profit run by survivors, for survivors."

Then you'd change the program name to match whatever other programs you put up billboards at.

Runners would call you, and programmies pretending to be runners would try to get you shut down.  You'd need volunteer lawyers set up in advance to make sure any runner was covered by attorney client privilege before he spilled the beans on where to pick him up.  And to be sure that nobody who was *not* covered by attorney client privilege ever knew anything they'd legally have to report to the authorities.

I know you're not proposing to set up to help the runners, but I think your natural sympathy for them is how the programmies would try to get at you.

Anything else I can think of that the programmies could try to do to you would be easier to defend against.

Obviously, you'd need a long term lease on your billboards, or to buy the land under them before putting them up.  And you'd need to obey all local sign ordinances, etc.

You could also pay for sky writers or planes carrying banners to plaster it over their heads. :wink:  They may own the ground, they may own the local government to rig the sign ordinances, but they can't take the sky from you. :wink:

I think the second idea is much better.

Emaree is so correct on this.  I dealt with the Teacher's Aide more than I ever did the teacher the whole time I worked there.  The Teacher had very little to do with the students anyway.  Most of the time she was just sitting there correcting papers or writing stuff down.  I hardly ever saw her working with a student.  I'm not saying they don't have degrees and that some of them aren't really good teachers, but there is definitely something lacking out there in the "academics".  I do know that a couple of the male teachers were really on the ball and really worked with the students.  This information came from the Family Fathers that worked the families in those classrooms.  I can really only speak for the classroom I was in and the person in there was a pathetic excuse for a teacher.
