Agapé Boarding School gets a great review!
Yahoo: In southwest Missouri, a Baptist compound for troubled teen boys promises redemption on its bucolic 200-acre campus. Behind the facility’s arched gate, children will find a swimming pool, sports fields, and ranch for horses and exotic animals. Agapé Boarding School “is truly a place where miracles happen,” one piano-filled commercial boasts.They not only are still fighting the War On Drugs, they are fighting the war on placebo drugs as well: “I remember this guy in the dorm rolled a fake joint and these staff members restrained him for hours,” Bucklin said. “He came back into the dorm, his shirt was torn apart, he had blood everywhere all over him, his face was black and blue. And that happened constantly..."The kids learn all sorts of things: “You learned how to survive every day,” Bucklin said. “We learned how to talk without moving our lips because you weren’t allowed to talk. You could get restrained for talking.”What a useful skill to learn! I wish they had taught that at my school. Josh Bradney was sent to Agapé in 2014 when he was 12, after his parents deemed him disrespectful... |

It brings back memories! Ah to feel the vigor of youth again, to be a prefect, isolating and beating the younger boys, instilling discipline. There's so much life ahead of them.

These kind of schools need 100% attendance at Bible classes and other Christian training programs. It's been found surrounding such facilities with razor wire improves attendance.

That's just the sort of thing that children need to focus their minds on as they study and pray. |
Re: Agapé Boarding School gets a great review!
There seems to be criticism (from the usual quarters) but I noticed some alumni return as staff members. Would that even be a thing if it didn't work?
