--- Quote --- Debbie the drug store clerk is not in charge of "administering" drugs to 150+ people. She is not putting the correct doses of medication into cups and passing them out. She sticks the bottle into a bag and rings up the sale.
As you well know Who, unlicensed programs are not required to follow state regulations. HLA is exempt- claimed to be a boarding school, "therapeutic" just a marketing tool.

I think it is important to distinguish between boarding school and ?Therapeutic? boarding school and market their target customers accordingly. TBS?s target a very small fraction of kids who will benefit from what they offer. Yes, I do understand that they benefit from special exemptions.
--- Quote ---Who administered drugs as ASR? What type of employee would you have been comfortable with managing and administering drugs? I think they have about the same population.

I am not sure how it was handled at ASR, but I would expect at least a trained medical person (nurse) to stage the meds once a day, maybe bag them, mark them and then allow a staff member, who is assigned, to distribute them when needed . These would be my minimum requirements. If there were state or federal guide lines, I would want them to follow those as well.
So I guess we need to ascertain what the receptionist is responsible for. Does she have total access to all the meds and just hand them out to whom ever wants some pain killers, does she have any training? Does she have a background in dispensing drugs or is she 18 years old and this is her first job and she has only been answering phones for a week? Are there requirements or guide lines the school should be following?

For a TBS? Naaaaaaaah. What would ever give you that idea?
Deborah:
Who,
Now I know you know that HLA doesn't take traditional boarding school kids- that isn't and never has been their target market. No one is going to board their kid in a TBS for a 20-22 month "program". I have never seen one advertisement that remotely suggests HLA being a traditional boarding school. If you have, please post it. Further, kids who go to HLA do not stay the duration of their high school years. Their parents are highly encouraged to place them in pre-selected "traditional boarding schools" upon completion of HLAs "program". The guarentee is dependent on it.
Based on this comment: "Are there requirements or guide lines the school should be following?"
I'm not sure you do understand that they benefit from special exemptions.
BTW, it's not special exemptions (plural), they are totally exempt from state regulations. No one monitors their program. Same with ASR.
As a parent, why are you comfortable with that?

I just placed a quick call to my pharmacy. Excluding the head pharmacist, to be just an asst. requires at least some college level training in pharmacy along with a multi week training course and a final exam before a person can even touch meds.
--- Quote --- Okay, We will accept this as an assumption.
--- End quote ---
Its probably a safe one to assume that the guy cutting the lawn isnt a trained pharmacist or school nurse.
--- Quote --- No, I was citing an example of a requirement, we haven?t defined any requirements yet!
--- End quote ---
Oh Im sorry was the requirement you listed off before just pulled from your ass?
--- Quote --- The issue is meds, the girl at the pharmacy would not help you either.
--- End quote ---
The issue is meds for you because you cant retort against my argument. This receptionist isnt just passing out meds, shes playing school nurse. Shes treating injuries and illnesses completly unqualified. Not only does this put the inmates health at risk, it is illegal.
--- Quote --- How do we know she is not qualified to hand out the meds?
--- End quote ---
Based on the fact that shes a receptionist.
--- Quote --- If she is qualified and meets the requirements then I am satisfied, yes.
--- End quote ---
And if she isnt?
--- Quote --- The same reason everyone else is.

You think so? You have no knowledge of HLA nor any experience with it. The people who come onto this site to comment on it do so for different reasons. The people who are anti-HLA are usually here because they suffered at the hands of it or know someone who suffered and want the truth to be known concerning it. The people who are pro-HLA are usually either sadist who enjoy the pain they can inflict on children at the school, to stupid to see the truth, or are dependent on HLA for their livelihood and simply dont care. There are also of course those who did benefit from such an enviroment. You dont fall into any of those categories so again the question stands;
Why are you here?
RobertBruce:
--- Quote --- I never offered truth. I suggested we all continue to strive towards it and yes I do care to be educated always, hopefully you havent stopped learning.
--- End quote ---
While not offering opposing ideas concerning HLA you have discounted and dismissed others statements.
This serves the same purpose. Yet you do this while not having any first hand knowledge of HLA whatsoever.
Why?
