[QUOTE="Lucedaleblessed, post: 270410, member: 6747"] TBS's can be a good thing, but remember to check out the economy. I have seen a lot of them struggling right now. The chain, which is running the one here in Lucedale has been shutting schools down in Georgia, Montana and New York. There is also not very much life at the campus here in Lucedale, so I guess that it is a matter of time. Their largest competitor closed a wilderness program and a TBS in Texas. You must have seen something in the paper because the school was located in Conroe and was a typical example of a modern TBS. On Woodbury's site you will also find info about a lot of other closures and everytime it is the children who loose when a school close down. It becomes yet another failure in their lives. When you locate one, then try to find groups of alumni on Myspace or Facebook and watch what they are writing. I have known several families where TBS became a kind of timeout because there was a kind of underground community at the school. When the kids leave they are so much closer to 18 and then you have no saying in the matter anymore. What about a normal boarding school instead where your difficult child can receive therapy outside school? It stills have the structure which seem to the one thing which is in demand. [/QUOTE]
