When I read What it takes to pull me through the only thing that seemed to be of any merit was the Costa Rica trip. Of course i dont know if it was sugarcoated. it struck me that the parents could have saved their dosh and sent their kids on a cultural exchange and a habitat 4 humanity programme. Why did they give this up? it is not like 80000 is too paltry. What are they spending the money on instead? Proper doctors and teachers?

--- Quote from: ""Three Springs Waygookin"" ---Despite the superficial changes I doubt the more important things have been altered at all. It remains all to easy to polish up a few odds and ends and passing them off as reputable change.
Keep posting Nalex. Your experiences as a witness from the perspective of a student is far to important to not be heard.

When my peer group got together a couple years ago we went to back. They were obviously going through a transitional stage. It was a lot different. Little things like the clothes kids were able to wear. The thing was that it seemed like a ghost town. None of the kids really wanted to talk to us. When I was there whenever there were visitors people usually always talked to them. Also A LOT of the staff had left, basically all the higher ups that were there when I was were gone.
It really wasn't enjoyable to go back. It sounds stupid but I was scared someone was going to shut and lock the door behind us. I also felt terrible talking to the kids and sugarcoating the program. I really just wanted to tell them to hang in there.
I am thankful that ASR was not like Tranquility Bay or any other of those terrible programs. Still, ASR was no walk in the park and some things that went on should never have been allowed.

Dear guest parent while I find your answers endearing I tend to defer to the actual experiences of a program graduate.
Nalex never said he saw any changes during his visit. He just said he was happy to hear that they changed.
ASR doesn't need to be like Tranquility Bay to still be a facility that deserves being razed to the earth and sown with salt. That in itself is an invalid comparison due to the fact that abuse is abuse no matter how severe. As a society can we really afford to say, "Well the kids do need help, and gee whiz, ASR isn't as bad as Tranquility Bay so it must be ok."
Nalex please go ahead and keep on answering. You are providing a first hand insight to the program that obviously is starting to make the guest parent uncomfortable.
My questions asked previously still stand.
