--- Quote from: "Guest" ---So this 'school' is designed to model exactly what for the kids? How to get drunk and drive? Or philander? Or both?? Typical shit from these holier-than-thou, power-tripping assholes. I'd like to get Grant Price in the ring for just one 3 minute round. I'd make him sorry for everything he's ever done in the first 30 seconds and I'd take my time for the rest of the round just battering this idiot until his head is about to come off. Let me know when you're ready, Grant. I'm ready right now.

I am so sorry you have been hurt by him.

I attended Carlbrook and can speak from my own experience... It was undeniably manipulative, and I feel truly sorry for individuals who do not see it for what it is. I agree that some students really do turn things around for themselves during their stay at Carlbrook, however, I feel sorry that students see this as the school doing it for them. I have often heard people say "Carlbrook saved my life".. how utterly disgusting. If people want to change- they will, if they don't-they won't... regardless of whether or not they are at Carlbrook. And there is constantly this hype amongst the community at Carlbrook about the support that is provided at the school. Is it supportive? Yes- I had many friends who made the place more emotionally "safe" (there you go for all of you who like the Carlbrook terminology) but I believe that those relationships can be created anywhere if there is a desire to do so. I believe that the staff is insincere. There are a million things I could say... but really the most important thing I want to get across is that Carlbrook can do my harm than help- and that if someone wants to help themselves they will. I am still recovering from my experience there. If you are considering sending your child there I would love to talk with you before you make a final decision.

We are considering enrolling a child at Carlbrook. I would love to hear from some people who were there is the last 1 or 2 years. All the hugging and touching makes me very nervous and has a very cult-like feel. Also, I am not sure any of their tactics will prepare the students for "real-life", in the real world life does NOT revolve around you and your problems and the day cannot stop for you to talk about your issues with others.

It sounds as if you've already decided that this school is not right and rightly so.
