Why did you attend the Elan school? Did you have behavior or drug problems? Who made the diagnosis that your treatment was to enroll you into a private correctional school system?

I've done maintenance work for a school that deals with troubled teens and many other dark issues, but I haven't witnessed any extreme policies such as the Elan school. The staff is much more professional from what I can tell. The staff is taught restraining holds, they get retrained twice a year, and if there's any trouble we call in the police. My job involved repairing a lot of dry wall. The clients love damaging walls. While I worked there, I hate to imagine what happens at night. The students always fighting, I don't really know. I only witnessed a lot of verbal fights and staff restraining those who are aggressive during the day. Oh and I constantly keep an eye on my tools! Recently there is one client on trial for attempted murder on a staff member. I was not employed when that occurred. How did you get by through those nights? If I were in that situation, I think I would hide out in my room.
