Wouldn't trust Sue Scheff to refer my dog to a boarding kennel for the weekend.

If all you're worried about is "nephew is 14 and is a troubled teen. No police record, just failing in grades and difficult.", you shouldn't be looking at any programs like Glacier Mountain.  Step one is always to find out what is "going on".  Step two is to try to address it at home, probably with professional help (LCSW, psychologist), being ready to participate in family therapy, as whatever "problems" there are may well take the family to address.

Many, if not most, teens are "difficult".  Failing in grades could be due to any number of things.  I believe in the value of a good residential therapeutic school, but it should be the last choice, never the first.  And, if you ever do need one, you need to match issues with school.

I went to Glacier Mountain Academy for a little less than a year before my mother took me out because neither of us thought that it was helping me. My mother talked to Sue Scheff about this school so she thought it was pretty good.
Here are some of my experiences and things that I saw while I was there:
Larry Bauer is the head of the program and says that he councels us one on one every week or so. We all got counceled I think twice the entire time that I was there.
Ramona and Matt Slover were the house parents while I was there and I saw with my own eyes Matt hold one boy against the wall by his neck and yell at him because he ate the applesauce with sugar when he wasn't supposed to have sugar. I heard of other things from the kids but that's all I saw.
Robert was our martial arts "instructor" and eventually they let him take us fishing and on other excursions. On more than one occasion, he smoked marijuana in front of us and shared it with myself and the other kids. Matt later confessed to me that he knew that Robert smoked weed and suspected that he might be doing it with us.
Jack is the "teacher" at Glacier Mountain Academy and is good friends with Larry Bauer. Every day we did actual lessons for about 30 to 40 minutes, even though we were at school for 5 or 6 hours every day. The rest of the time was spent playing Nintendo and watching movies while Jack did paperwork or talked on the phone in the other room.
There were 3 bedrooms for the kids in the house that we stayed in. There were 12 people living in the house at the same time. 9 of them were kids (including myself) two were Matt and Ramona, and the last was their son, David, who lived in the basement.

There is more if you want you can email me at hawaiianguy3@hotmail.com. I'm sure that my mother wouldn't mind talking to you either about what she went through.[ This Message was edited by: hawaiianguy3 on 2006-01-09 13:24 ]

Sounds like a place Sue Scheff would refer to. Is this another place she "checked out" before referring kids there?
