Elan School / Marc Rosenbergs address and phone #

Why on Earth would you do this? You're just asking for trouble. Their are people out their who rabidly hold resentments against this man and you are almost inviting them to harm him.
I happen to love Marc a great deal, despite our disagreements. If something happens to him, I'm gonna be pissed.

I remember Gianni, even though I was in 8. I sang "Imagine" with him on stage at karaoke. My name's Peter Moore. Do I know you?

No, sorry I'm not. At least I don't think so. I'm not familiar with any Usenet groups.

Dan,
Oh my God, NOW you have gone too far!
I have had a long fuse with you, but labeling me an apologist is one of the stupidest things you have done on this site. First of all, read the thing: "Elan did ME more good than harm." Not "Elan did more good than harm."
Second of all, is anyone who says anything remotely positive about Elan an Elan apologist? I'm glad you're now the self-appointed labeler for everyone who ever attended Elan.
Incidentally, being the Elan Apologist of the Day, I today told a media contact that I doubt I'd ever send my kid to Elan and that Tania Merette has no business being in charge of kid's lives. Oh yeah, I also called much of the staff "a bunch of amateurs." True apologist talk, huh?
I learned a long time ago that Elan is everything it has been made out to be. It is, in the words of one staff member "heaven on earth," and is also, in the words of Michael Skakel, "a concentration camp for kids" and everything in-between. It's up to opinion and individual experience. PERIOD. That's why I count among my friends people who support Elan's treatment methods as well as people who wish the place would suddenly implode and spare no directors.
And whoever Anonymous is, you ball-less wonder, you are truly "wet behind the ears." Otherwise you'd know to put your real name behind any mud-slinging. You're a coward, plain and simple.
Back to Dan. I will never tell you how to feel about your experiences with Joe Ricci, please don't EVER tell me how to feel about Elan.

Elan is, at most, today, a watered-down version of a true therapeutic community, more psychologically irresponsible than abusive. While it helps many people, it can also hurt some psychologically. It is run largely by people who don't know what they're doing -- with SOME exceptions: Clare Woodman, Marc Rosenberg and Jeff Gottlieb among them.
My educated guess from research, conversations with many former residents from different eras and my own experience as a resident in the 1990s,is that the philosophy of a therapeutic community has almost never been completely correctly interpreted by Elan, with the possible exception of the early 1970s, when it first opened.
In my opinion, Elan today, while it helps some, is largely a good place for rich parents to get rid of their adolescents.
By the way, Elan did me more good than harm. I'm just relaying my opinion.
