[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've watched a few documentaries about it and go down a research rabbit hole every time. It's a fascinating place with some very happy and very sad stories. In one documentary I watched, it showed that a lot of the boarding, especially with little kids, is as in homes that look and feel exactly like a regular family home. That wasn't quite what I had imagined and it made a lot more sense after I saw that. OP, I hope you have read The NY Times series about Dasani, who is a girl who eventually ends up at the school. If you haven't, it's one of the most moving series I've ever read. I won't say more in case you haven't read it yet. Be sure to look up the 2021 update. https://www.nytimes.com/projects/2013/invisible-child/index.html#/?chapt=1[/quote] Its ashame they couldn't put this family in supportive housing and help them more with the basics so all these kids could succeed. Sounds like mom was trying.[/quote]
