CEDU / Brown Schools and derivatives / clones / Re: Journals from CEDU - Keep or Toss?
« on: January 11, 2012, 09:18:50 PM »
I was a little toasty one night, came across my old Challenge Phase Portfolio, got extremely upset reading the pages within (a few full-time journals were included; Challenge Phase was by far my most difficult period at BCA), and burned the whole portfolio in a bonfire.
I regret it.
I really don't want to go back into the pages of the remaining journals/portfolios I still have, but I can't be 100% certain I won't want to at some point down the road (way, way down the road...I'm like you and am always tempted to burn them when I move and come across that box in the back of my basement). Same goes for the folder full of documents my parents gave me last year (I'm 26 and have been out of CEDU for 9 years now) that showed the other side of the coin; write-ups from counselors, therapist assessments, notes from the "parent's workshops", etc.
Also, I'm a parent myself now, and if at some time in the future a fellow parent is considering an EG Boarding School, I might want to show them the brainwashed words I was forced to write while there. It could be beneficial as a kind of deterrent that helps them make the decision for themselves, as they might see my opposition to the programs as too biased to take seriously.
Just my thoughts!
