OOoh, psy, dontcha know that-all is just a piece o' paper!
--- Quote from: "Ursus" ---...And nope, I couldn't find any evidence of "certification," nor of a degree relevant towards being someone's primary counselor at a place like John Dewey Academy. Although it does note that she attended the University of Connecticut School of Social Work 1998-2001, no mention is made of a completed degree, just some (?) of the courses taken...
I found this entry quite telling:

No. My take on Tom Bratter is that he is someone who never quite grew up, who found some kind of solace or sense of structure or belonging with the therapeutic community model, and who projects his identity and his needs onto the kids who attend John Dewey Academy. Hence these kids all get subjected to the tricks of the trade that Bratter believes to have provided some answers for his own earlier days. In fact, this whole John Dewey Academy "experiment" is one big, drawn out rationalization for Bratter's own take on "life."
TheWho, on the other hand, really is a parent. By profession, he is a marketer and start-up specialist, a rather successful one. During the course of his kids' adolescence, they got involved with drugs. TheWho attempted to address this using a business model, posting the following back on September 9th, 2005 (originally as Anon):

Step 2 Determine root cause (What is causing this to happen? Make sure you are staying focused on the proplem as it is written, it is very easy to wander off track. Uninformed parents, kids taking drugs, schools systems suck etc.) This could take time to determine. Its nice to have only one cause but sometimes there are many.
Step 3 Make a list of solutions (all of them). Educate parents, educate kids, shut down the schools, let the air out of the vehicles that take the kids away etc. Rate the hundreds of solutions and pick the top ones.
Step 4 Impliment Solutions (Impliment the top solutions)
Step 5 Measure your Success or failure (Very difficult sometimes)
Step 6 Adjust and go back to Step 3.
If these steps are followed practically any problem could be solved eventually.

--- Quote ---I have applied these steps in industry and the results are amazing. The key to success, for me, was to
define the problem very carefully and focus on getting to root cause at all times and constantly refer back to the problem statement (step 1) to insure all our energy is focused tightly on the problem defined.
