[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They made kids sign documents in the hospital agreeing to leave.  They escorted kids to their dorms to move out in a matter of hours.  They restrict the ability to return after a break and make applying for reinstatement a stressor on kids.[/quote]

This is just awful.  I’ve been in the ED with my teen when they were having urges to self-harm and needed to be admitted to inpatient.  That is a real crisis moment.  I could not imagine school admin/school hospital staff forcing us to sign papers kicking them out of college on the spot.  [b]Have they no decency?[/b]  Isn’t the student already under a lot of stress in that moment?  Cruel and disgusting.  And then removing them from their supports and practitioners. Just awful.

It’s Yale. [b]Most Yale grads find a way to share that fact within a few minutes of one’s meeting them for the first time (unlike other elite school grads)[/b] and I am convinced because the school experience is so traumatizing that they wear it as a badge of survivor honor. [/quote]

Isn't this a Harvard thing...[/quote]
