--- Quote --- 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.

That?s exactly what I said. TBS?s target and market to a very small fraction of kids. They are non traditional.
--- Quote --- 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.

I do understand. But if there are no requirements because you are exempt, then you would turn to ?Acceptable guidelines? What is expected? What do other institutions do? What is safe and appropriate?
Being exempt doesn?t necessarily mean you do nothing, it means you look for acceptable guidelines to follow.
--- Quote --- 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?
--- End quote ---
I think they should be regulated by the state that they are in. But I don?t blame the schools for this, the people need to push the state to enforce the regulations and over sight. If we were not required to get a drivers license how many of us would have one and would that make us bad people or bad drivers? Probably not.

Okay professor but youre forgetting a huge issue with that.
The school lies to the state about its purpose. There are laws and regulations and oversight for just such a type of institution in the state of GA. Yet they claim exemption by pretending to be a traditional boarding school.
Anyone with any experience with HLA knows they are not a traditional boarding school.
Oh wait...thats why youre confused, you have no experience with HLA.

--- 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.

You seem pissed. Let?s revisit the original statement a couple of pages back :
?It has been confirmed that Tracey Kimbrell, the school nurse LPN was fired last Friday..Maybe
parents should look into who is going to be distributing the 'correct' psychotropic drugs to your children...?
This what I was responding to. How are the meds being handled and what is the right thing to do?

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?"
--- End quote ---
I think I have offered opposing ideas. I challenged the position that having the receptionist dispense meds was putting the kids at risk.
Having first hand knowledge is not a prerequisite to post on any of these threads, as I have experienced. If you take a look at the ASR thread there were a small percentage of posters who had first hand knowledge (As one example).
There are parents who are gathering information on schools who post and have never heard of some of these places. Its important for the forums to be open to all people so that they can learn and inject new ideas and insight. You should welcome this. The more interest, the more people, the faster the information gets out!!

Youre confused. Im not angry at all, I was simply mocking you. You mistake my being condescending towards you for anger, learn the subtleties.
In the meantime you continue to ignore the larger issue. The receptionist isnt only passing out meds..although that to is illegal and a practice that HLA has engaged in for years; she is also (again) playing school nurse. An issue you continue to ignore because youre to stupid to respond.
