Would your daughter agree with that assesment? Also I'd like to finish up with that matter we were discussing in PM's.

She wasnt agreeable at the time about much at all. But in hindsight I am sure she agrees with the process.
RobertBruce:
Do you feel it might have helped her transition had her parents actually gone through therapy themselves?

The transition, no. In hindsight, sure we could have done things differently which might have helped. But I dont think it would have resolved a whole lot......

Very good Question:
1. If you had a child that was suffering with social issues and may benefit from being with other kids then a choice of white water rafting or cross-country skiing (depending on the season) would probably be more important. The academics would be secondary.
2. If you had a child that would benefit mostly from a safe environment then this would be most important for that child with the academics and social activities further down on the list.
3. If a child had no issues that required therapy and was a self starter then I would recommend a regular private boarding school and ASR probably wouldn’t be a good fit for him/her.
So I think it is fair to say each case is different depending on the child, there is no correct answer that applies to everyone.

So, some kids need to be safe... Can we extrapolate this statement to understand that you are also implying that some kids don't need to be safe or even specifically need to be in an unsafe environment?
Underlying this post you seem to be not just condoning abusive situations, but even advocating for "unsafe" environments.
I believe most sane parents would have responded that in all cases safety is a hell of a lot more important than skiing or whitewater rafting.

I see what you are saying. What I was trying to indicate is that in some cases the child is in an unsafe environment and not going to school so the primary importance would be to get the child to a safe place and secondary would be academics. But you are right, all parents would want to have their child in a safe place regardless. My intent was not to condone placement of a child in an unsafe place.
