'these facilities" = unregulated troubled teen facilities or... regualted but questionably so...

At least, that' the way the state sees it, as I'm sure do parents since that's how it promotes itself, in part.... incidentally, few facilities actually lock kids up.

Take a close look at this child's history (the one whose parents sued the school district).  He has obviously struggled a great deal and has a remarkable history of serious psychiatric and substance abuse issues.  He has been treated in many mental health programs.  He ends up at the Hyde School where there wasnt't a single mental health professional on staff.  Isn't it a problem that Hyde accepts students like this without having professional mental health staff?

You have a kid that smokes a little dope and tell people to fuck off. Parents send the kid to Hyde.  That does not make Hyde a treatment facility.  Hyde is an accrediated secondary school, not a treatment facility.  Kid like that went to Hyde when I was there along with some very normal kids.  Off hand I could name the children of Senators, State governors decendants of people that every school child knows from fourth grade history.  They were all quite normal.  They were not being treated for anything.  People that have no problems do not check them selves into treatmant facilities.

You're right, Hyde is not a treatment facility.  It doesn't believe in offering mental health services.  Every kid's problem at Hyde is an "attitude" and "character" problem.  Why, then, is Hyde willing to accept an enormous number of kids with incredibly complicated psychiatric histories and challenges?  It's a documented fact that Hyde accepts these kids, many of whom then have difficulty staying out of trouble at Hyde.  Now, isn't that a surprise?  Take a kid with major mental health problems, put him/her in a school that offers no mental health services, impose lots of pressure on the kid with a heavy does of shame and finger pointing (and Joe Gauld's special brand of humiliation), and watch the kid threaten to run away, engage in conflict with staff and other students, get placed on 2-4, use drugs, get sent to out-post, etc.  Does that sound like a good model to you?  Is this the right way to treat this huge portion of Hyde's student body????
