Comments on: What about accountability? http://thefamilyschooldoghouse.com/2010/01/16/what-about-accountability/ At-risk teens and dog training, learning and the brain Sun, 18 Apr 2010 23:16:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Gene Lysick http://thefamilyschooldoghouse.com/2010/01/16/what-about-accountability/comment-page-1/#comment-17 Gene Lysick Thu, 21 Jan 2010 14:43:32 +0000 http://thefamilyschooldoghouse.com/?p=186#comment-17 My son attended TFFS from 5/03 to 6/05. Although as of late he looks at the stay as a punitive measure, (chatter on facebookd about former students and their gripes) I as a parent look upon his stay as a positive one. He admits that I had no choice and does not hold it against me. I think secretly he knows that the school and the accountability it provided did him some good. Now here out in the real world the word accountability is a rare commodity that he chooses to ignore. It is all up to him now and a large part of his denial and laziness for his inaction and lack of productivity is imaturity and there is nothing out there that can help him with that except his own desire to want to change. In the meantime, a parent waits. Gene My son attended TFFS from 5/03 to 6/05.
