[edit] Abusive Wikipedia User Continues His Mission
They suggest the main aspect of treatment is isolation. The opposite is true – students work on improving social skills and developing positive peer relationships.
The statement that they deal with custodial issues is false. New Leaf does not involve itself in custodial disputes. He links to a discussion forum as his reference, which is a discussion forum dedicated to saying only negative things about therapeutic schools. If a parent or student shows up there to say something positive, their entry is deleted or they are patronized as “brainwashed.”
“The facilities are not accredited by the United States Department of Education.”
They are accredited properly through the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges – see the US Dept of Education Website to see that this is how US Dept of Education accreditation works for private schools.
[edit] Then explain this
Accretitation:
If you backtrace from the New Leaf Page Northwest_Association_of_Schools_and_Colleges, you can see that they were split in 2004 in two organisations - the other one is Northwest_Association_of_Accredited_Schools.
From this page I quote:
Neither the United States Department of Education nor the Council for Higher Education Accreditation recognizes the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools as an accrediting agency for institutions of higher education. The Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities is the recognized regional accreditation agency for post-secondary institutions in the seven-state region served by the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools.
The lack of real accreditation is exact why a very well-reputated school - Academy_at_Ivy_Ridge had to pay a fine.
This is not a page, I have created. You can not claim that it is something I have invented. It is the real thing.
Isolation:
If they can not get visits from relatives and friends after schooltime, are they not isolated?
Forum:
It is the forum I was told to refer to, when I some months back was offered a job I turned down. I have children of my own and I was told by our authorities to look to this forum for advise of boarding schools because some of them "could harm the children", as they told me.
A lot of Danes work in the States. Some - very few in fact - of them choose to bring their children along. Of course we have some one from our authorities who have specialized in what to do, when it comes to education.

- The US Department of Education does not accredit schools. Therefore, it is meaningless to say that a school is not accredited by them. It would be equally valid (and meaningless) to say that a school is not accredited by the Disney company. Furthermore, neither the United States Department of Education nor the Council for Higher Education Accreditation "recognizes" accreditation agencies for primary and secondary schools; they are only responsible for "recognizing" agencies that accredit tertiary ("higher education") institutions. The Northwest Association of Accredited Schools is the regional accreditation agency for primary and secondary schools in its region (identified as such by all the state education agencies in its region). It does not accredit institutions of higher education, so logically it is not recognized as an accrediting agency for institutions of higher education. Academy_at_Ivy_Ridge had to pay a fine because they were operating in the state of New York (which has strong state regulations) without a license from the state. Arguably, Ivy Ridge is not a "well-reputed" institution -- after they belatedly applied for a state license, their application was rejected.--orlady 04:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] No source ??
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_Erikson#Critique_of_Erikson
The source is wikipedia itself and I have not written anything about this person.

- (a) Wikipedia is not a source for itself, (b) there's no criticism there. – Steel 11:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
I have been called a troubled contributor because I am from Denmark. No problem in that. It would be fair to call me a controversial person based on that.
When the article about Erikson leave a full chapter about critique about his lifework, it would be fair to refer to him as either controversial or critized.
