Thanks Son of Serbia. My original intention for posting this was just to let former students know that not all of the teachers at CEDU were "the bad guys." After I left, my friends continued to work there, and only then did I really piece together all the stuff that went on. I guess I was pretty ignorant to what exactly was entailed in the 'emotional growth' part of the program -- I honestly believed that parents knew what went on and that's why they paid for it. Only after I left did I put it all together -- again, fresh out of college, and like Son of Serbia said, they were looking for young recent college graduates to corrupt and who they could hopefully get to perpetuate the destruction.
Anyway, even though I said I don't feel like I deserve to be 'chewed out,' I understand the anger toward anyone who used to work there, in whatever capacity, and I'm fine with that. In my heart of hearts, I know that I tried my best to be myself and I sincerely believe that no one there is worse for being my student. I call myself a 'former teacher' at CEDU, which is pretty funny because 'CEDU teacher' is pretty much an oxymoron.
I wish you all the best.
