To Dysfunction, do you always have to be so dysfunctional, even when agreeing with someone?
"You hit the nail on the head, stupid?" How rude!
To the Anon who tried to post positive about Cross Creek...PLEASE do not try to justify these inappropriate behavior -mod hell holes! I did not need to read just Maia's book, I've actually done plenty of reserch, as well as actually working at one of the infamous CEDU schools for a short period of time. Confrontational, bootcamp treatment is child abuse. Isolating students is child abuse (and against the law in California). Ridiculing or cursing at children is child abuse. Restraint is child abuse. The tactics used at WWASP schools is all child abuse. These students are "incarcerated"...my classroom, in a public school setting is "structured" ...there is a huge difference. The only thing that this student was saved from was more abuse at the hands of his father, who put him at that school because he liked the lack of laws and governance. He didn't care if his kid was being abused...he abused him himself.
The only thing learned from abuse is how to abuse others.
