Piano lessons have a beginning and an end point just like some boarding schools. The piano teacher is being paid to modify the childs behavior by teaching him to sit at a piano for a certain period of time (or shall we not say teacher since she may not have oversight or licensed with the state or student because there is no formal class rooms). Anyway, regardless,The parent trusts that the teacher will not abuse the child. The child may not make any phone calls or use their game boy during this time, bit their nails, play with their hair or chew gum. Etc. etc. get the picture.
The only main difference is boarding schools are designed to house many children and for a longer period of time. Do children get abused? Of course they do. There isn’t an institution on the planet which doesn’t struggle with getting the right help, from summer camps, to public school to boarding schools. Kids are much more likely to be abused at home then they are at a boarding school. Child abuse is a huge problem in this country.
We need to be careful not to judge an industry based on a few isolated cases. If you saw a video of Tranquility bay then be clear and let people know that you are using your experience off of that video or u-tube shot.
I think your work is commendable and shows you are dedicated to your cause. Just remember you are trying to communicate with adults I believe. If your target Audience refers to them as students use that. If your target audience refers to them as parolees or detainees then use that wording. Take the advice of many people don’t get painted into a corner and be persuaded by hate groups who are not interested in doing good or educating people on the industry.
Oh, my god someone shoot me I am starting to sound like the who.
