Well, I see your point, but student is typically referred to kids of a certain age. Doesn’t mean they need to be signed up for a formal education. Many of these kids are homeschooled and the parents are not looking for anything accredited because it is not what they are use to. When my kids attend martial arts the teacher called them students, the same with their piano teacher and swim instructor. I don’t remember exactly but I don’t think they were all accredited by the state or had teaching certificates. They may have, though. I consider myself a student of life and of golf.
As far as inmates or detainees, I guess it could be appropriate at times. Our kids sure seemed to feel that way when they couldn’t use the phone or write letters during meal times and they were surely inmates when they were grounded for a week. The kids are detained pretty much their whole lives until age 18, cant leave home without an adult, in bed at 8:00, sit in that chair while you eat etc.
I think my point was is that most people refer to groups of kids at boarding schools as the student population and when people read you site and see detainees they stop reading and move on because they figure you are not familiar with either the language or the subject matter or that maybe it is a parody site by students to make fun of their school.
We use to make fun of our school also, take pictures of a dump and say it was the schools cafeteria etc., but parents are not mostly interested in reading this level of information. The layout of you site is nice and neat though. I will eventually read through it, but wanted to pass along some info to help out a bit.

These "boarding schools" are hardly that. They whitewash it all and present this lovely picture to prospective marks that is far from reality. Detainees is quite appropriate. It's the truth of what happens, not some watered down version to sell it to parents. We know it. You know it and the kids damn sure know it.

People who are held incommunicado, against their will, for so-called "treatment" upwards to 3 years........ are called Patients- usually severe mental patients. Although they have more phone/ visitation/ advocate rights than program detainees.
When one is detained and ALL rights and privleges are denied.... that is more like jail and they're called Prisoners......... although prisoners have more phone/visitation/ rights than program detainees. Prisoners of war get better medical attention.
Those who won't read the site will avoid it out of guilt for what they've done, or are considering doing to their child.
BM Prisons for teens. Doesn't get any clearer than that.

I see it a little differently. The point the guest was trying to make was that sure the kids are detained. They have to be. The parents are aware that the kids will be detained there for a predefined period of time whether it be a week or 3 years. If you have ever parented a child the last thing you would want is to send them off to a place that was not secure or could not contain them. A parent could not sleep at night thinking their child could just run off, especially in a state he/she wasn’t familiar. So detaining them at the school is one aspect of what the parents are paying for.
But as a reader (adult) looking at this persons site for the first time and sees that his language is sophomoric it doesn’t spark curiosity for the reader to continue rather it gives the impression it is a kids site or a parody. People looking for honest information will move on after the first few lines. If the site is intended to target younger folks, the advice might be off and I could agree they may enjoy it.
I tend to side with the guest on his/her constructive criticism. The site is great, just think the guest felt you could get more readers (or more educated readers) if you upgraded the grammar a bit.
