psy:
--- Quote from: ""Charly"" ---The guy was incompetent. I've discussed him before. He was the "Dean of Academics" but he was an idiot. I couldn't get him to anything in the way of making sure my son got to take the standardized tests he needed for the next schools, etc. The academic issues were totally botched by him, even though the teachers themselves were pretty good. The guy felt that I exposed his incompetence, I think. He was strange. He's been at other programs- Glenn Bender.

did your son say anything about what things were talked about in group? how the staff acted?
Charly:
I will ask him that. I'm also not sure if the groups had guidelines and the kids were limited in what they could say.
I, too, have to sign off. Short night tonight.
More tomorrow.
psy:
--- Quote from: ""Charly"" ---I don't think the groups were nightly. At night they had "last lights" after study hall etc. At "last lights" a kid could speak about something on his or her mind.
--- End quote ---
"last lights" what a co-incidence.. same word at bmark.. must be common with CEDU clones.
--- Quote ---The groups were in the afternoons after school. I'm not sure about the topics. I don't know if the topics were assigned or if it was a free for all. You had to move across the circle from someone you were going to address. That way you were a "safe" distance from them.
--- End quote ---
yup. ask yourself why that safe distance was needed?
psy:
night

--- Quote from: ""Charly"" ---I only feel qualified to talk about some of this because Psy and I were talking over Christmas when my son was right next to me so I could actually ask him. He is far enough removed from it that I think I got pretty accurate answers. He's not the most verbal person on the subject, though.

That is undestandable. It's a lot easier to move past.. move on.. and leave behind the bad times.. problem is for me.. I keep thinking about the people still there. well. maybe your son will be bothered by it some day.

That's what keeps me coming back here every time I swear I'm leaving. :D Ginger commented a long time ago when we were doing this with some Straight decendant....Growing Together I think. It was a Friday night and she stopped me in my tracks with that comment about kids being in Open Meeting right at that moment. Still gives me the willies to think about. :o
