Charter School's 'Cult-Like' Practices: Former Student's Disturbing Account

Concerns are rising about the potential for cult-like practices within some charter schools. A recent video by a former student, Elle, details disturbing experiences at her school, including an unsupervised field trip to a dangerous area and mandatory therapy sessions that overstepped boundaries. "They literally lined us up in front of the school and took us 15 blocks away to a crack house," Elle stated. While the school's actions may not constitute a formal cult, the alleged lack of parental consent and the intrusive nature of the therapy sessions raise serious questions about the school's practices and the oversight of charter schools in general. Further investigation is needed to determine the extent of these issues and ensure student safety.
