None of them?? No. Charges/complaints of this ilk have been brought up periodically since the at least the mid 1990s vis a vis Mount Bachelor Academy. There is nothing inordinately new here, save that the state finally chose to get involved in no uncertain terms.
The state is also in a better position to do so, given that there is more research available on the traumatic effects that excessive humiliation and degradation can have on adolescents, especially during a time when they are actively forming their self-identities.
Mount Bachelor's own sister school Academy at Swift River even said as much three years ago, when they addressed possible changes that may or may not have toned down their own version of Lifestep:
"Psychodramatic methods can be very powerful, however, when misapplied can create the risk of harm especially for certain adolescent populations."[/list]
Perhaps MBA was given the benefit of doubt in previous go-arounds. Less so, this time! :D

Considering that the allegations are eerily identical to what I either witnessed first hand or went through personally at another CEDU based school? no. It is not possible. If the kids were making this stuff up at random, the allegations would not match those made at other CEDU based schools. Also keep in mind that IIRC, the state interviewed a lot of students. Again. If students were making stuff up at random their stories would not corroborate each other.

I've read that that number was close to 100 students. Anybody have some hard data on that figure?

It's just a repost of his earlier one which I responded to here (no sense in responding to it again):

That's what I read but I can't remember where either.
