My Son At Thayer

Ginger: What is your basis for your statements about Thayer? Where you ever there? Have you visited it. Do you have any first hand information? Interesting questions? Cptnemo
terrified_mother:
You state your son left Thayer last fall and received a scholarship to attend university where he is now your dream son. The problem I have with your statement is unless your alleged son was the incredibly rare gun toting, drug dealing scholar prior to his stay at Thayer your claim cannot, possibly, be true. The mail order high school program offered at Thayer is issued by American Schools which may be accredited in Illinois but whose credits are not accepted at any college that I know of.
Further, your attacks on the members of this forum make no sense unless you have some sort of profit to make from Thayer's success. Your presence in this forum makes no sense if, in fact, you were a totally satisfied parent of a successfully turned around son. Surely, you would have bigger fish to fry and grander dreams to accomplish than defending Thayer.

What statements? I'm asking questions and you're trying not to answer them. But your answers are very telling despite yourself.

relentless exercise? relentless exercise is what most likely killed the Reyes boy. Have you even read about it? The actual ME report? I have a copy if you are interested.
Relentless exercise? They fractured my son's ankle the first 5 minutes he was there because he "looked the drill instructor in the eye". How was my son to know that was forbidden when he had just walked through the doors? As soon as he walked through the doors, he was approached by several drill instructors who "took him down" and "restrained" him because he looked one of them in the face when they approached him. In that take down, they fractured his ankle, and although he requested to be seen by a doctor for the ankle, they refused and forced him to exercise in excess of 12 hours a day on that ankle. Was that warranted? No, it wasn't. I didn't send my son there for the same reasons you did. My son was not into drugs, violence, etc. Had never been in trouble with the law. I chose Thayer because he was ADHD and struggled in school and from what the program preached to me was that this would help him academically.
That example up above, is only one of many that my son suffered while there. We wont even talk about the fact that he was hog-tied to another studen and "dragged through the showers" because he couldnt keep up with the exercise regime. Well hell, who could on a broken ankle? So, they broke his ankle, he couldnt keep up in exercise because of this ankle, so we are going to punish him even more?
Get real!

The answers to your questions are:
1) The diploma from the American School was accepted by the 3 universities we applied to.
2) As to personal attacks, what are your comments on the personal attacks I have received from my posts? It would be nice for you to rebuke those who have made ugly comments to and about me. 3) The academic (yes, academic, not need based) scholarship is real -- all $11,000 of it.
The problem is clear. If one person shows that Thayer in fact worked, then you (and the rest of the others) must re-think your position.
As Lewis Carroll said, "Never try to reason a man out of a postion he was not reasoned into."
Most people on this site seem incapable of reading what I have written. I have no idea if Thayer will work for anyone other than my son. I just know it worked for him. And dear friend, that is simply a fact.
I am sorry things did not work out for your son.
