Auldern And Stone Mountain
Dance Together In A
Winter Wonderland


December 20, 2010

Auldern Academy and Stone Mountain School have joined forces to create a Winter Wonderland dance for their schools. This is the third dance that the schools have joined forces for a successful school dance. The much-anticipated event first began in 2008 as an experiment to see if the two schools could successfully provide a safe and healthy interaction between the boys and girls who attend each single sex school. It has been a huge success and has lead to the implementation of regular interaction between our students.

The night was filled with excitement as the boys from Stone Mountain entered the dance. Auldern girls and Student Life Counselors had spent the day transforming the dining hall into a winter wonderland, filled with sparkling snowflakes in honor of the season. The DJ revved up the music and students joined together for an evening of dance and socialization. All students really seemed to enjoy themselves at the event.

Doug Deaton, a professional photographer who also teaches at Auldern, was on hand to capture the event for the parents of the students.

We thank the Stone Mountain staff for bringing their boys such a long way and helping to chaperone the dance. Stone Mountain will host the next event in early 2011. This is a tradition we hope continues for many years to come.

Auldern Academy is a therapeutic boarding school in North Carolina serving young women grades 8-12. For more information about Auldern Academy, contact us at http://www.auldern.com.

Auldern is owned and operated by Sequel Youth and Family Services, Inc.

Whooter, do you realize that your monopoly here is destroying this site?
Glad you've got nothing better to do.
You have your opinions. I have mine, and I doubt we could ever change each others minds.
You are prolific. I'll grant you that, but the whole story has grown quite tiresome.
If you don't work in the TTI,then why not? I can't believe all of the effort that's put into arguing the same points over and over again with no conclusion. We all know where each other stands by now and It certainly does not make for compelling reading. I fear without anything new, this site will dry up and blow away.

Exactly.

The funny thing is as soon as Whoots accomplishes his objective, then wtf will he do all day?

[Whooter]

This  information is not going to hurt the site at all.  Do you realize how many readers think that programs brainwash kids and perform torture on them?  If we can bring in current information on programs and allow the readers to see that kids are not getting hurt the way that many here claim then it will reduce many of these misconceptions or cancel them out altogether.  If we read the requirements for brainwashing and thought reform and then read that the kids in certain programs compete in sports with other high schools and go to dances etc. then we can conclude that conditions do not exist for successful brainwashing to occur and therefore we don’t have to worry as much about the kids in these schools like may do now.

You may be right, none-ya, I am not sure what you mean.  I am not disruptive or posting bad information or misleading anyone.

After all points are made everything always winds up being about you.It breaks down to nothing more than insults and threats. Don't you get tired of it?

You say this as if it wasn't true.

I have become accustom to the insults.  When a person is insulting me here on fornits it is due to their own frustration of losing an argument or their inability to express themselves in any other manner.  I don’t take it personally because the insults are not a result of anything lacking on my end, nor do I have control over them.
 The threats are almost always mis directed.

LOL. That's YOUR opinion, and that's just about all it is!

What is the source for your working definition of "the requirements for brainwashing and thought reform?" This is obviously still a very controversial issue, hence no such universally accepted definition exists. Therefore, there is simply no "we can conclude" and "we don't have to worry as much" about any of your above conjecture!

Faulty premises do not generally lead to sound conclusions, no matter how prolifically you can churn them out, Whooter...
