Troll Control:

--- Quote from: ""Think People"" ---Fortunately I have a life and am not going to spend my saturday crunching numbers for you.  Funny how you don't ask for stats when the bogus claims are made like in the beginning of this posting.  One need only look at the stellar subject/verb agreement to know where this thought or lack thereof comes from.  The statistics for violence in schools is online if you care to investigate with one click of google.  I work at HLA and the reason I know that this is crap is because i spend every day with these kids who are awesome, however misguided or angry or sad.  They are nothing like the poster suggested but I am sure you and most people realize that anyway...I also went to high school which I am sure most of you did as well and realize that access to drugs/sex was soooo much greater in the public/private system where the assumption is that the kid will not take advantage of their freedoms.  There were fights every day in my high school, hazing, cussing out teachers - thats high school dude, thats life man.  Lets be objective here, I get angry about this but I know you people are really smarter than this crap.  Move on...come to campus if you are really concerned, seriously.  Its great these days and I honestly appreciate the relevant postings that have kept everyone on their toes and helped people reevaluate how much misbehavior we will tolerate from some of the bad apples that permeate any environment. I don't mind people being critical but most of what I encounter here is so wildly outrageous that it makes me cringe

you really don't get it.  hla is closing.  have you noticed that the staff have left in droves and that hla is a shambles?  if not, you're the last blind one left.  i mean, how could you not notice your own pay cut and slahing of vacation/sick/bereavement leave?

Robert,

What I am going to do is finish writing an email to my good friend who just chimed in on my icq account and then I am going to eat...thanks for asking... Objectivity would require you to suspend your conspiracy "tucking my head" conclusion and give me a chance to come back later...honestly it has been fun.

Deborah:
HLA should have less violence, drugs, sex. That is a realistic expectation and what parents pay $6000/mo for. As they told parents in the workshop... "You can't watch your child 24/7, we can." And that is presumed to be accomplished with a high staff to student ratio.

The original poster stated that the AM/PM Deans were gone, only three RCs which was inadequate. It was also reported that the Nightwatch/ Security Staff are gone. If that is true, then the concern seems resonable, given HLAs demographic of kids. No matter the statistics in public school vs HLA, there is ample research to show that the aggregation of distressed kids presents a more volitile environment which requires more supervision, if one hopes to have even minimal 'success'.

It was also reported that the Admissions Dir (Nicole), the Director (Keith), and possibly the licensed therapist (Steve) were gone, or leaving RC. That is a legitimate concern, because RC can't function without those staff in place, no matter if they have 5 or 175 kids enrolled. It's a violation of state regs. Have those positions been filled?

How many students are there at HLA?
What is the current staff:student ratio?
Are the Dean positions filled?
Is there nightwatch or security?
Is RC functioning without an Adm Dir, Dir, Licensed Therapist?

Those are the questions posed, that I didn't hear a clear answer for.

RobertBruce:
It's fine. You can make time for excuses as to why you can't answer a couple of questions, dodge and perry, write emails, make long winded posts, but you cannot simply answer a few simple questions for lack of time.

Meanwhile you chide me for not being objective all while you claim we are "retarded losers who are full of shit."

Again typical staff behavior. I wonder if you'll find another place to work that encourages such nonsense.

RobertBruce:
Deborah, please...he has to take a shower. Be objective.
