It is CEDUs policy to provide no assistance whatsoever to students who are departing under such circumstances. This policy does not grow out of cruelty or heartlessness, but out of one of the key tenets of a CEDU education: every act has a consequence. For students who say they are determined to do it on their own, we believe that being on their own has to start as they walk away from us. Sometimes the difficulty merely of getting into town is sufficient to cause them to realize the enormity of what they have done. Any employee assisting a student to leave a CEDU school against parental wishes is subject to discipline, up to and including immediate termination of employment. Thats how seriously we take it. New employees are trained to this standard and all of us are regularly reminded to provide no help to a student going walk-about.
