So CEDU just up and fired you for basically doing what you were credited to do? And they got mad over the cocoa thing? I actually can see someone reaming someone out in a rap over serving children at these schools cocoa. I remember when I was only at CEDU a month, and my mom tried to get into the workshop for parents so that she could visit me. They REFUSED to let her join (claiming I had not been there long enough. For a family of three, 1 week is long enough) until she got a hold of Rob Spears (who back in this time, was actually somebody in CEDU). Because and ONLY because Rob Spears knew that my mom mortgaged her house twice by this time (remember I was there a MONTH!), he pulled some strings and let her join the workshop. Funny thing is, that on your second visit you were allowed to have a picnic; they told her that I didn't have my "sugar" priviledge and even the fruit that she brought had sugar in it! They were just so pissed off that a student was going there that they couldn't control (I was on bans my 2nd day and refused to follow them. C'mon, on the SECOND day?), and now here is her parent that they can't control. It was amazing for me to watch these people treat a struggling single mother of two this way. A lot of the staff acted like Bonner Ferry Divas (if there could ever be such a thing in a town were people go to escape the government crimes they have committed).
Ps. We had the damn picnic anyway. Right in front of Quixote lodge. Don't let The Man get you down!
:lol:
I am so sorry that they fired you that way! But, at least you are better for it. Understandable, you have bad memories of that place, but at least you didn't fall for the type of counseling that THEY felt was necessary. I know, our group sessions usually turned into watching a movie or getting out of raps. Not due to the therapist, mostly because of CEDU!
