Current HLA Staff

--- Quote ---I am sure you are right there must be more employees, some places just list their professional staff members. As far as kids not being allowed to wash sheets that must be a Georgia law. We always did laundry when we were growing up and general cleaning. Is there a health hazard associated with doing sheets specifically? Can kids wash other items like their own clothes?

Except they always listed all the staff in the past. There really isnt a reason to list maintenance staff for the school as the kids are forced to do all the work anyway. As for sheets, during my own incarceration there we always did our own. Not sure why the policy changed, unless some kids just weren't doing it.
--- Quote ---You have to remember that most of these kids had access to a very good education system prior to HLA and refused to even show up. So any parent would be happy to have their kid in a class room even if they just slept on the floor. It has to be better than not being there at all.

Most of them? I'd like to see a basis for that claim. Further how is the "no fail" in place at HLA conducive to a higher education? How is a kid who leaves and returns to public or private school by any means prepared since he's already so far behind. Even better, how is such a kid prepared for college? Two minute work sheets and then nap time? Not at the college I went to.
--- Quote ---I would guess they are not listing all the employees, plus with the turnover rate it would be a task to keep the web site current. I cant figure out from your post whether you think having a hick (as you call it) doing the sheets and food or having the kids doing it is preferable.

So what are your thoughts on them not having a nurse now? Still not an issue?

about the sheets:
it's not illegal to do your own sheets. it's illegal to make kids handle other people's sheets as they are biohazard - kids being kids would wack off all week into their sheets. when i was there, every saturday you would dump all the sheets in the common room and restrictions would pick them up in big bins, and carry them down to the maintenance shack by the SAC. there they would pick up bins of clean sheets and carry them to the dorms. there were two sets of sheets for every bed in each dorm, and they would rotate every week.

Interesting, if it is a bio-hazard issue then the kids really should not be doing any of the laundry that isnt their own, not just sheets. Who did the laundry in the maintenance shack? Was it kids on restriction? How did the kids clothes get cleaned?
Anonymous:
there were laundry rooms in each of the dorms, around ten washers and ten dryers. kids washed all their own clothing.
the sheets and towels were done by a maintenance staff in a separate laundry room in the maintenance shack, in bigger heavy-duty commercial machines. the staff wore gloves, aprons, and surgical masks when handling the dirty sheets.
RobertBruce:
I wonder why they changed it? When I was there we all did our own. If a kid didnt do it, or didnt do his own laundry he was placed on restrictions.
