I love this school! its a blanking dream :)

I was there 2002-2003. maybe i was the one psy was talking about in his webpage. I recently sent a letter to the to  city of Loma Linda administration, and the sheriff department for convincing them to investigate the bench mark program

The dirt list was a surveilance system of sorts.  Very effective.  Every peer became a video camera.  It's sort of like the secret police.  You never knew who you could trust.
