Category talk:Behaviour modification

I don't think that education has something to do with education. Behavior modification techniques consist of severe punishment long abandoned by any schools. Forcing people to eat their vomit or stay at stressful positions for almost a full day is not something that education or even alternative education can contain.

Also Behavior modification facilities funcions basically more like a prison than a school. I have not seen a school in Denmark that does not allow the students to leave the campus some hours every day outside the time targeted for education. Then there is the communication between parents and children. Have you heard of a school that does not allow parents so see their child in person for a least some hours every week?

No: behavior modification and education is not the same

Not punishment either
No, not a punishment either, eventhough I have to agree that the inmates/students/detainees (We can not agree what the poor children should be called) at both Aspen and WWASP would agree so a certain point that they felt it like a punishment.

I can refer to two statements here on wikipedia, that feels that it is punishment:


 * Yes, I felt like a detainee (Talk-page: Aspen Achievement Academy)
 * Opinion of survivor (WWASP Talk Page)

but!!!:

The organizations do not agree that they offer punishment. Putting them into the punishment category would be fine with me and the victims, but it would also be doing the exact thing, people claim I do. Writing negative things about them regardless the fact that I at any point only have portraited in way that could described as NPOV due to my cultural background.

See: Aspen claims that they use behavior modification. Behavior Modification for Struggling Adolescents (Aspen Education) But regardless of the fact that children has died in their care, they wont agree that they run a kind of punishment.
