--- Quote from: ""TS Waygookin"" ---What sort of school work, teachers, classroom was provided for this twice a week of education?
--- End quote ---
The schoolhouse was a one room building with a bathroom.There were 5 teachers when i was there. 1 was the "principle". The 'classrooms' were maybe 4 or 5 rows of student desks placed in front of the teacher's desk. The classes offered were the basics you find in high school: science, mathematics, literature. The work was pretty independent. there was no real teaching to a class going on. if you had a question you approached the teacher's desk and asked for help.
In STU one teacher comes to the unit and all the girls collect their schoolwork. Level 2s and 3s get to sit at the table in the center of the room and do their schoolwork. level 1 did their work on their beds. If you had a question for the teacher you raised your hand (which is how you are able to talk all the time, except in group therapy or dining at the table if you are not a level 1).
the desks were not like that, though. the chair was attached to the desk and there was nowhere to put things inside of it.
nimdA:
Did any of the students have any special education needs? If they did were those needs attended to by a licensed special ed instructor?
milkblood:
no, none of the students, while I was there, needed any special education.
nimdA:
Do you feel your educational needs were properly tended to?
also..
On page 8 9 and 10 hrt2break describes the therapy of PV. Could you add anything to the following sections:
What was the individual therapy like?
What was the group therapy like?
milkblood:
i do feel that my educational needs were tended to properly. i was doing the schoolwork that i needed to be doing at that point in my life. i did not graduate school from PV though because I was doing 11th grade work.
each girl in the cabins was given a individual therapist that we saw once(?) a week. we were taken out of class for it. we were driven in a van by a staff member down the main road to the admissions unit, (where all the therapists are). you have a one hour session with your therapist and then the van comes to transport you back to the schoolhouse. we talked about individual issues, but a lot of the things I talked about with my therapist were things that were going on around campus.
i cannot really recall how often we had group therapy. some days it was once a day and some days it was twice. we had a special group therapy sometimes when the psychiatrist would sit in on, some where the addiction specialist would sit in on, and some where the other doctor would sit in on. the group therapy sessions would vary from being at the schoolhouse or the cabins.
