A private school that's a haven for bad kids and gangs??
This isn't a reform school ..is it?
I would really, really like to read about such a private school. Does it have a name??
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I am scratching my head too wondering about this, too.
Hm?...We have a few private “schools” like that too in my state. I think all states do. They are very expensive and exclusive military style camps for kids with drug problems.
Yes.
This isn't a reform school ..is it?
Unfortunately, not.

You won't read about that stuff around here because it is kept very, very quiet. The k-8 is fine, and in fact offers some exceptional programs, the HS is where the problems are. The academics are fairly decent, the atmosphere is the pits. It's the only private HS in the county, and they will take any student whose parents can foot the bill..........including those kicked out of the public school system.
As I have said many times, all education systems have their problems, none are perfect. We all must choose what we deem is best for our own child and should stop denegrating those who make different choices, for whatever reason.
I have no knowledge of the private school where Gabz lives, but I know there was one near here...it was supposed to be a Christian school, but there were several other Christian schools in the area, some with better academic reputations.
The teachers claimed that this particular school had very little discipline, and would let in the students who'd been expelled from the public schools for bad behavior, if the parents had the $$$, and the students continued the same behaviors in this school. Apparently those running the schools either felt they needed the tuition money that badly, or maybe they thought they could reform the little darlings. The teachers I talked to thought it was the former.
