I went to the Howey in the Hills school back in the 80's. The stories that you have heard, and briefly touch upon, are just a glimpse what really transpires at the school. However, I have no hard feelings about having gone there. It was an eye opener and I was at a different place back then. I know there are other, more positive alternatives though. I know that as a parent you are only shown a peak of what really transpires inside.There is a lot of manipulation that goes on. I was there for 18 months before being "put on the road", which means that the schools drops you off on the highway in central florida or stockbridge and you are left to your on devices.I thumbed back to Boston, knowing that my family would not communicate with me based on the schools "tough love" policy. The tuition that th school demands could be spent elsewhere on more positive approaches.I would be glad to answer any questions if you have any? Good luck. JTM

"Desisto", in Portuguese, means "Give Up". How can you send you kids to a placement named like that?

If you wanna know more about DiSisto, I can tell you all about it. I was in a dorm called the "NewBoys" and it was fucking bullshit. The whole program and everything it represented was a lie......IF ANYONE WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT IT THEY CAN TALK TO ME ON AIM= BOOTDISK7, ASK FOR RAZ
Not a place upon earth might be so happy as America. Her situation is remote from all the wrangling world, and she has nothing to do but to trade with them.

Q. I simply ask, why is PUNISHMENT the solution with regards to the narrow group of behaviors which encompass illegal drug use....?A.Pharmaceutical Business, both legal and illegal, run by the same people either way, money coming to the middle from both ends. Bush.
