Your first point.
"Excuse me... but what you just said is EXACTLY what they do in these WWASP "schools"."
They may well be doing bad stuff, most of the schools are not doing this. Cults do this and it is different. The problem with people coming out of those schools isnt that they identify with the leader or some cause, the problem is that they are ussually bitter and even more angery than when they came.
Your second point.

Ideally you break down a persons self destructive psyc(ussually they are developed as coping mechanism for a child) and let them rebuild a more balanced and introspective psyc.
Wrong, simply wrong, what they do in there is break the teenager to little pieces, boil it until it turns liquid and then pour into a pattern of their wishes, no rebuilding and they don't break down only a person's self-destruction, it breaks the person entirely in order to mold into law-obiding, polite with the lowest of self-esteem zombies.

I said "ideally". You and I really dont know what happens on those "islands". So you telling me how my paradigm is wrong based on a third hand account of what is often just a way to bilk money from the parents is kind of silly.
