I'm rather concerned about the recent bad publicity that the school
has suffered! I would be very surprised if excess force was being
used at Kerelaw, it didn't happen 15 years ago & I would be
very doubtful if it's happening now! My experience of the staff
at Kerelaw is that they were highly professional & that they
haad the best welfare of the children as their prime concern!
Believe me that wouldn't always be an easy thing for them to practice
with some of the kids
they had to deal with! Any disciplinary measures were to either
protect the welfare of the child or to prevent them from disrupting
the welfare of other children through bullying or whatever! Kerelaw
has done many children a great service in the fact that kids leave
there as fully-fledged, descent members of society & many
of us have got much to be thankful to kerelaw for helping us to
overcome our difficulties & to become descent human beings!
In this specific aspect wider society has a lot to be greatful
to Kerelaw for as well!
