My Son At Thayer

You know Hugakid, hysteria is the enemy of reason.
This attitude in your post a few back that Thayer is, by your (and some others') definition at least, this or that, and that anyone who questions this interpretation makes you "disgusted".
Well what if you're wrong? I mean a lot of people seem to disagree with you. So I don't see anything at all wrong with asking, asking for experiences, asking questions about Thayer, its academics, anything else.
You imply that they are killing kids, I presume you mean by neglect (don't you?), well I would like to hear other takes on that too, since oppositional kids can in many ways do themselves harm---in anything but a lock up facility and in fact even there.
See I want to know the facts, I want to hear different opinions, in short, I'm not willing to accept that because someone like you is very certain and very righteous that they are in fact right.
So if you're "disgusted" I suppose you will remain disgusted, not much that I can do about that.
And I will continue asking questions.

Yes, it is. And sending a kid off to a private prison, even knowing they just killed somebody else's kid, is, by any measure, an hysterical response to teen angst.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.

"Private prison"? Would that be what many people would call a therapeutic boarding school that an acting-out kid doesn't want to go to? Are you one of the ones who thinks there are no limits on what a minor ought to be able to do without restraint of any kind?
They "killed" a kid? Do you know this? Fill me in please--- given the slander laws, I've got to consider that you wouldn't make such a statement without some proof and I'd like to hear what that proof is

That would be any private organization that takes kids (or adults, for that matter) from their beds at night, in shackles and drugged if necessary[sic] then holds them against their will and incommunicado.

Roberto Reyes did not kill himself. He had no choices in his activity, medical care, nutrition or anything else. Neither did the kids or lower level staff in who's 'care' he died. Keep abrest of the latest:

As far as I can see this Thayer kid who died was bitten by a brown recluse spider or something related, had a pretty severe reaction and died. Your point is that the staff should have recognized the symptoms (which are BTW in dispute)and intervened
Yeah, I'm with you on that, evne with a pretty unusual set of circumstances it bears looking into--if in court, the school is found to have missed reasonably detectable signs and symptoms I think they have to be--- and will be--held liable.
But honey, that's a far cry from suggesting that they intentionally did it, that's what "kill" would mean to me
Tragic, yes, maybe negligent we'll see. But not intentional, and not the result of easily forseen or common circumstances
And for God's sake let's go by what is actually proven to have happened not what some pond scum percentage-chasing lawyer alleges.
See I've got a theory about people like you, their main deal is to put down schools that help out-of-control teens, they'll use or misrepresent any tragedy like this one to further that end---so I'll wait and reserve judgment on whether or not this was negligence or a horrible set of circumstances that is not likely to be repeated.
