Special Education Services
« on: May 16, 2011, 01:20:05 PM »
How can Ridge Creek claim to offer Special Education Services and assessments when they don't have a Special Education teacher on staff? Could this be considered more false advertising on the part of Len Buccellato?

RCS - A piece of historical fiction?..

RCS can advertise and market all they want for services the conglomerate cannot provide.  This has gone on since the schools inception in the later part of the 1990's.  It is actually a fascinating 'story,' one that was woven time and again. From the Director of Counseling Tom Sisk with the fabricated Phd. that wrote ISP's for troubled children in a unlicensed facility to Leslie Goldberg, the ever iconic educational consultant whom sent the youths to Tom Sisk at Hidden Lake Academy and Ridge Creek, Inc.(then the Wilderness program RCI).   It's all in the ORS documents,  government documents, and emails.  What can the parties plead, they didn't know?  It's your job. And at this point I am not so sure it is a "story."

The early and later documents appear to tell an amazing "story,"  allegations and reports that are wrought with fraud, deceit,sex,violence, insanity, corruption,negligence on all parties, abuse, brilliant accounting, and the list could go on. Clarke Poole's released emails would take at least a few weeks to shoot - and that would be on the first take.  It would need to be a mini-series as a two hour movie just wouldn't cut it - connecting the dots would take umpteen agents, with a least twelve tablet screens.

People respond, "I honestly have never seen anything like this."  There is blatant disregard for the children and youths at every level. One would think the agencies allegiance would be to the children and their protection.  Think again.  Every agency has stone-walled each and every inquiry either with purpose,  because they are inept, or have no clue as to what has been transpiring.  I am starting to wonder whether the GAO agents in Washington were right, stating that "the agencies in Georgia all dropped the ball."  I don't think they ever had "the ball."  

Phil Elberg's video regarding his dealings with KIDS hit it out of the park, but this one, if indeed true, is at the very least a home-run in that park.
And that's my take.

Sounds like Ridge Creek School is just getting on the band wagon of the latest trend in marketing. Hyde School also now advertises or tries to imply that it is a desirable destination for kids who've been tagged with such a descriptive, lol.

For kids who actually need a learning environment more customized than a public school can offer, I can't think of a worse place to attend than one of these "behavior modification" programs.

Shake Up at the DHS/ORCC or just coincidence?

Things are not as quiet as they seem.  

“The End is Near”
All is quiet
have no fear,
Nary a soul
will pocket their spear,
Listen with care
heed the drone,
In the wind
feel its shear,
Armageddon…
may truly be near.

Hello, Jill Ryan!  This is actually a fairly simple matter.  As long as the Special Education teacher is just a little bit smarter than the students, he or she should have no issues teaching these special needs kids.  For example, a third grade teacher requires a fourth grade education to excel.  A tenth grade teacher should have an eleventh grade education in order to succeed.  It's a rather simple concept.
