Whitmore Alumni do you know where the kids are now? They are not at the place the Sudweeks own down at Baja Mexico.

They are most likely still traveling there by bus. and stopping at a couple historical places so the kids can learn. When I went on trips thats what they would do.

So they can learn WHAT? I think they are traveling to escape a bit of legal heat myself. What do you think about 80% of the kids not even calling home on Easter week to even talk to their parents? What type of "leadership" is this from the Suds?

These former students may well be glad they are not on the current trip. Understand kids are not happy about having to sleep under the BIG BUS!

Yea I wasn't the happiest camper when we had to sleep IN the bus. but it's done and over with... besides it makes you more grateful to have a bed to go home to let alone your own room.
   I didn't want to call home, in fact I didn't for about three months. But i am sure if your kids wanted to they had the chance and if not they will call

Whitmore Alumni you didn't think your bed or room would be gone when you got home did you? Why would you feel grateful to have a bed? That's a mere staple in most girl's bedrooms.

depending on what you mean by "home".
1. Home at the mansion?
   I would never think that my bed would be gone when we got back.  What made me grateful to have a bed was that we would be on the road so much we would either camp and sleep on the ground or cramp up on the bus. It wasn't the greatest thing. So when we actually got back to the whitmore everyone was so happy to actually sleep in a bed.

2. My room at home?
 I actually didn't have a room at my house. My parents took my room away so I had to sleep on the couch. After that, I got sick of home and left. I lived with my friend for about a month and then got bakeracted. So I really didn't have a bed at home.

I'm sorry. I just assumed that after a year away at "school" that you would return home to your own room and bed. I just presumed something that was not so. I consider Whitmore a SCHOOL, not a home. I consider the Sudweeks as owners, of a school, not PARENTS. Suppose I have a totally different outlook, perspective. I was paying for a child to attend school, and receive therapy for a professional therapis--not to adopt a "FAMILY."

For all the money parents pay per kid---don't think the Suds could swing for a motel for you kids?  No one should have to feel grateful to have a bed at the rate of about $4,000 per month!

Me not having a bed nor room was before i went to the whitmore I now do have one. I don't know, because being grateful for having a bed teaches you about how homeless people feel and what they would do for a bed to sleep on and a shower and many things like that. I am not however trying to compare the whitmore as homeless kids. it was just an example

Howbizzare, have heard that before from my child who was at Whitmore! Hated that bus a lot! Kids had to sleep on it when they visited at Shayla's. And riding on it from Lake Powell was reported as "terrible."

yes but now ask your child if he or she was grateful for having a bed.

I don't have to ask.  Having your OWN bedroom and bed, and having the room furnished with your OWN THINGS--TV, Stereo System, Play Station, Computer System, Personal things, clothes, etc...and having your OWN bath room is more-or-less just an "expectation" for kids in our house. So I don't expect graditude--so I am sure if I asked, I probably would not receive any.  That is just how our house is. Everybody just has their OWN.

I'm sure sharing at the Whitmore was an adjustment. But, that was fine--no real complaints except for having NO LINENS...sleeping on a filthy sleeping bag.  Having 2 minute timed showers was bad, as was being constantly sleep deprived to accomodate Cheryl's marathon Group sessions. But there was no expression of gratitude for having a bed--that was just an "expectation."
