Is anbody gonna watch. I am but if I get bored I'm switching to the Beauty and the Geek Reunion show.

I'm watching right now, but only until Rock Star comes on. I missed the first hour while I taped the Beauty and the Geek reunion and watched The Cut. I'll probably watch it in its entirety next week...or at least tape it.

I find this fascinating...and really do hope that it can turn the kids around. I've dealt with some pretty bratty kids in my time, but not kids with the level of problems that these kids have. It's very sad.

I hope by watching this my mom doesn't go all momie dearest on for not claening my room when I'm supposed to.

I started watching it just till TAR came on and I got hooked.Some of these kids are in deep trouble and I hope this will help them.It is fasinating.

I actually ended up likeing some of the kids like Jada, the 99 IBS. kid and the girl with horse story.

I watched it for about 15 minutes. That was enough for me.

I really liked it. Hope they can turn those kids around. Did anyone else think that the parents seemed ineffectual at setting boundaries?

I saw a news story about a military type of school (I think it might have been in Ontario but I'm not sure) that did this sort of thing. They took kids that were totally out of control at home and set them straight. Most of their grads went on to postsecondary education.

I think most of their staff was ex-army and it was run like a boot camp. If you got out of line you were either denied privlidges (like movie night) or given extra duties.

I remember the head guy was saying, "There is no such thing as a bad kid. There are bored kids. If a kid gets into trouble that means they're bored so we give them something to do. This year we have a few that still think they can get away with stuff so they're testing us but we'll win in the end. We always do."

If one of my kids went like that, they would be off to one of these things so fast they wouldn't know what happened.

I'm actually looking at obedience(sp?) school for my dog. She is out of control, do you think they will take dogs too.

I wanted to watch it, but we didn't get home until after 10. My vcr's were busy taping The Cut and Beauty & the Geek: the aftermath. I'll try to catch it next week.

Boy, this summer there is sooooooooooooo much to watch (and talk about)

I agree with you Canuck.I think some of these parents need to see theorapist so they can handle it when the kids come home.I really felt bad for Charlotte.She was abused by a "friend" of the family and her parents knew it happened,they should have had her in theorapy asap.
