I think this topic is related to string about employees or students whose names start with "B"  Try looking at page 14 if anyone is confused.

What do the poor kids who are at TLC do during the hot summer. Do they still go outside in the Missouri heat?  Is there any air conditioning?

there is air and the outside activities are cut to a minimum when the weather is to hot, then you drink more water. unless the drill sergeant is mean then you go out anyway and just sweat and roll in the sand they have for exercise, also for the cats to use .  ring worm is a big concern.  It is not a good place if parents only knew what they did to the kids there.  giung to prison is better than thayer, at least therte you have rights at thayer you dont and you are punished into going along with whatever they say.  blind obiedence

How many teachers are there at Thayer and how many students per teacher?  Do you know how they determine what grade level you are in?  Do they teach math, science, history etc.  How hard are the courses and can you go on to college with the education they provide you.

There are no teachers at thayer.  One who acts as a sargent/family rep.  The kids are given text books that their parents buy and they are expected to learn on their own.  The only guidence they have are other students helping them if allowed or the one sargent per 20 or more kids.  The schooling is a joke and it dosn't prepare you for college.  In the past there has been a principal, but the turn over rate for that place is so high, I wouldn't be surprized if he is gone.  .   The child is better off sitting at home with their parents teaching them out of the same text.

I don't understand your comment about "related to string about employees or students who's name starts with "B"" I don't understand.  The topic above was Baines and Bakerly, and the question from page 14 was dealing with a student flirting with a sargent.  Baines and Bakerly were students.

Are you talking about the one that had combed back hair that was a little gray, and had a full beard and glasses?The one that usually worked with the residents?I rememeber when he caught walkenhauer(pictured on the official TLC site) cheating and he got a big 100$ fine  :scared: .I was told he didnt work there by another resident, but thats all he knew(to my recollection thats what he said).I cant exactly remember if the resident told me he got fired or he didnt work there anymore.If he did get fired it was because he got caught copying exams for practice for the students.He had me doing some 11th grade biology book, I stayed focused on that for a week, and got a C on most of the tests, but the sargent corrected everything for me , so I memorized everything that was wrong , knowing Id probably take the same course later.I sure did and I got an A  :wink:


   The thing I said about Bakerly/Baines was, Bakerly got caught stealing muffins, and got a big fine for it, among other things, such as taking to long to eat, and cheating, and laughing about it.Also I heard that Baines a few months ago went crazy and stole everything in the kitchen and stuffed it in his pants lol.I just thought that parent was either Bakerly's or Baine's  :wink: .

Also by the above posters response^^^, I see WERE, I assumed they have gotten out?I knew Baines was there until he finished school, and so was Bakerly, but it was taking them a long time.When did they get out, and did either make it to Jr. Staff?

i was told that in winter they were made go outside and exercise in the snow, without coats or gloves and shoes, more than one said this so I think it was true.  they said their feet and hands were blue when they were let return to the building.

yes many students get fungus infections such as yeast infections, ring worm and athletes foot. they are not allowed to take medication even if their parents want them to unless the person in charge of medication approves it. a lot of things go untreated because she doesnt really know what she is doing though claims to be an emt

yes it is true. sometimes they go outside and run on the sand track with only sandles on or no shoes at all and have to run on the sand with only socks on. there is rusty nails and gravel and metal and animal feces on the sand track.it is a disgustng school. no matter how much cleaning they do a day, it'll still be disgustingly dirty
