Die laughing.

That scenario totally brought back memories
of the oxymoronic arbitrarily developed enforced "agreements".... I can totally picture the rap complete with blowhard staff, petty mudslinging, defense of the illogical, and ass kissing older students. And then the deluge.

I can remember my family heads giving similar speeches to Guy's and thinking first, this isn't an agreement, it's a rule, and second, it blows. But I did not have the courage to say what I thought because my entire purpose at CEDU was dedicated to ducking under the radar on raps.  Congrats on your guts (or masochism) for being so openly defiant.

You were there awhile. How did you get "promoted" with this defiance? It must have been exhausting defending yourself,logic, and common sense on a continual basis.  Did you ever decide it was time to play the game until you made your escape?

Son Of Serbia:
Shanlea; Yes, I did "Play the Game" eventually.

I was openly defiant during my entire period in discovery, and Quest.  I learned to "play the game" periodically, but that never lasted for more than a few weeks, before I was in trouble again.  I split 4 times during this period, and I always fought with stafs, older students, and my peer group. I blatantly broke the rules and I didn't care who knew about it.   During my 1st year, I did 4 tables, 2 full times, several couch restrictions & pit restrictions, room restrictions, you name it. The only thing cedu didn't do was send me on a 21 day.  I must have spent at least 3/4 of my 1st year at cedu on work assignments,dishes, and restrictions.

 Once, I was promoted to challenge I got better at playing the game, and I was able to pass myself off as a model older student.  

A lot of older students were splitting around the time that I moved up to challenge, and staff made me a dorm head right away, basically because no one else was available. I played the model older student game long enough until I earned my first home visit (which I split on).  After the cops caught me, i was sent back to Cedu and did a 3rd and final full time.  

After my last full time, I got back into routine "Playing the Game", and staff gave me my dorm back.  Once i had the staff's confidence again, I began planning my next and final escape from cedu.  I planned for 3 months before I split.  The whole time I pretended that I liked cedu, and wanted to graduate. I was promoted to New Horizons.  I waited until 1 week after bryan felscher graduated (he was my best friend at cedu), and then  I split for the 6th and final time, it was on the day I was supposed to do my Values Profeet.  Well, I value my freedom, so  to me it seemed like the perfect day to skip the 24 hour brainwashing and get the fuck out of Cedu for good!

SOS, after splitting 5 times you must have been their biggest challnege.  They probably got their nuts off thinking they finally "saved" you from your deliciously defiant self only to find out--WRONG AGAIN! Seriously, I'm surprised your folks didn't pull you in a frustrating realization that CEDU was ineffectual.

Also, the idea of you as a dorm head. Were you CEDU-kosher or underground?

Last, when you "played the game" (this is to anybody) did you believe it when you were doing it or did you know full well you were doing what you had to do?

when i was there during the michael allgood mindfuck era   a kid who left and they thought they could not con into returning was  labeled  to have been playing along and not wanting to do the program.  this is the lie that was fed to the other kids.  allgood would say or do anything to get his way.  staff  like rudy benz can tell you about the lies and brainwashing that they would do to keep  a kid there or keep him from leaving.  allgood believes that the ends justified the means and that psycopath mel wasserman who screwed everyone and believed his own lies just like oj simpson saying the bruno magli shoes photo are faked.  danielle used to say that oj would kill nicole and she ended up with cancer said rudy.
