Wow, sorry Ursus to put you thru all that research. Substitute "Inpatient ward" for "Childrens ward"... my bad.
It is a good hospital along with Tufts floating hospital for Children. We do have our share of religions here and the world head quarters for the Christian Scientists which goes against the grain of Bostons prestigious medical community. But the mix keeps it interesting.

--- Quote from: "TheWho" ---There was a study done a decade or so ago where they talked to families who needed to place their children in the children’s ward at Children’s hospital in Boston (I’ll probably get hammered here because I don’t have a link). The children were there for a variety of reasons from cancer to liver failure to thyroid disease, but the one thing they had in common is they didn’t want to be there. Did the families feel guilty? Yes, Responsible? Of course. There were people who asked the parents how they slept at night having their children in the hospital and questioning whether it was the right decision. Others questioned why they decided to have kids knowing they had a history of cancer in their family and subjecting their own kids to suffering and death.

First "children's ward," then "Inpatient ward"... at "one of the largest pediatric medical centers in the United States" that "records approximately 22,600 inpatient admissions each year." I don't think so. There is no such "ward." I don't think they even call them "wards" at places like this anymore.
I don't think you even have a daughter, TheWho. You don't sound like someone who has been intimately involved with the rearing of any child.
Where is this "study?" Which journal? Or is this another of your "it seems rational to me, therefore it must be true" fantasies?

This is precisely what programs do. ::poke::
It's statements like these, when it becomes obvious you are just a sock puppet to keep people posting. This post is too funny for a truly pro-program individual to make. Keep up the good work, sock puppet. ::deadhorse::

i currently attend shortridge academy. it's very hard to describe to anyone who has not been a part of it. I have been there for 15 months now. my parents are equally held responsible for the things that have happened in my life. yes, we the students are challenged more on a daily basis but the staff makes a point of bringing awareness to the parents as well. i admit, at first I was freaked out and really disliked the school but after about 3 months, a began building on some amazing friendships and figuring some of my shit out. i graduate 6 months earlier than most of my peers from home this december and my parents and I actually get along for the first time in 5 years. i suggest you all take a step back and stop judging and assuming things, it gets you no where. its not some freaky cult or some jail that kids are sent away to and abused. its quite the opposite. we go surfing twice a week, snowboarding in the winter, off campus trips every weekend etc. yes there are guidelines and boundaries but then again that's what most of us need at this point because we pretty much sucked at following boundaries at home.
