744. Guiding Hands School
Guiding Hands School located in El Dorado Hills, California experienced a death of one the students, they had enrolled. A policy at the school seems to be confronting the students behavior in a very aggressive way. Maybe so aggressive that it is in violation with state rules. It is a subject of an investigation started after the tragic death.
The school was later closed down
When even restraint by staffmembers can be caused by a student not stop tapping a pencil on desk, then it cannot be fun to be there as a teenager.

While the present management do it different, the system they use where students have to earn the right to speak to their own family frequently increases the risk of abuse.
It could not have been fun to be there while Bruno Bettelheim was in charge.
