I would refer you to the very first post in this string. You seem to believe that a school should provide education without any behavioral altercation at all. This is in line with the political logic that has created much of the current problem. Schools should not discipline children or limit thier freedom in any way. So any school that does could not be primarily educational but must be primarily therapeutic. Of course if a school provides structure and discipline it must be corrupt and sinister. Maybe you should appeal to the supreme court for a final ruling of seperation of education and behavioral modification.
Define BM. If you're talking about BM, HLA/CEDU style, no need to appeal to the supreme court. Depriving kids of food and contact with their parents as punishment would not be allowed in any public or private school, or any bonefide psychiatric hospital for that matter. For good reason. The same reason it's not allowed in prisons. Not to mention the more heinous punishments employed by HLA, which you apparently consider appropriate "discipline".
Where do you draw the line between "discipline" and abuse, Mr F. Lee?
Justify severing contact between parent and child, as a blanket policy. I'd like to see a genuine boarding school attempt to do this, or deny a home visit for "therapeutic" reasons.
Let's see a genuine boarding school require daily group therapy or attendence in AA meetings.
Let's see a genuine boarding school hold an all night Fall Out or require a student to clean a dumpster with a toothbrush.
Let's see a parent get by with any of this.
No. HLA should have to defend its methods and policies before the Supreme Court.
