        Their radio ads are worse, but I couldn’t find a link. Little kids talking about how they learned they only want friends who are “self-sufficient.”

        It’s literally brainwashing kids into aspirational sociopathy.

      There are charter schools around me that literally advertise how they teach kids NOT to befriend people who can’t help themselves (Challenger Schools).

      I’m seriously not seeing how you managed to get that out of the page you linked. It says, as an example, that they won’t force their students to pretend to be friends, because they should be able to decide that for themselves. It doesn’t say that they instruct them not to be friends or in any way discourage genuine friendship.

        As I replied to another, their radio ads are even worse, and have little kids that don’t know what they’re saying saying point blank they learned they only want friends who are self-sufficient.

        Basically a sociopath factory.

          Perhaps you could share a reference that supports your accusations? So far the only points made against the schools have been backed by nothing but hearsay. If you’re going to go around calling them “sociopath factories” you’ll need more to support that than your second-hand interpretation of an ad you claim you heard and a link describing how they teach their students to respect others’ rights.

            This isn’t court and I can talk about my life experiences in a casual setting without sourcing them in apa format. I backed up my experience with what I could find on their website, that alludes heavily to my experience and their constant ads of their children saying horrible, antisocial things on my way home.

            If you enjoy Challenger Schools in some capacity, good for you.
