[QUOTE="Just Curious, post: 288209, member: 4712"] I was the director of a youth camp for a couple of years and we did something similar... As part of their week at camp, we would kill a pig, butcher it and deep pit it for there grand finale dinner... The night the parents came to pick them up... Of course there were the 10%... But as a whole, it was a very successful part of their week at camp.... You had mentioned work release program... I am assuming that this falls into the community service program through the courts???? In the town that we lived in, the Juvenile Delinquents (JD) fell into two categories... Those that violated another person's property and those that violated another person... In property issues they were simply ordered to pay restitution (At their convenence). Violation of a person got them a trip to Juvenile Hall.... But we didn't have any middle ground... So I pitched the idea of starting a work program with the County and they went for it. It was an interesting venture. Having spent too many years as one of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children, discipline was still a way of life for me. When the kids came to me, I made it clear that they would address me as Mr. Lewis or Sir... And that I would address them as Mr. or Ms. so and so..... When we went out to work, I worked along side of them... (Not the Cool Hand Luke type with a straw hat, mirrored sun-glasses, and a shotgun over the shoulder) The results were amazing.... These kids loved it! We did some really dirty jobs and some the kids would go home and get their parents out to the worksite to show them what they had accomplished... I never had one repeat offender.... "Working" with kids is wonderfull. [/QUOTE]
