No.... You just want to side track everyone and try to push your own beliefs on people, and or sway a parents decision so it will put another dollar in your pocket.

The only thing that most of the parents have in common is having the financial ability to pay the tuition and/or because the salesmans song and dance he puts on for the parents.

Hell program salesmen are worse than a used car salesman that sells you a car knowing that your are getting a lemon.


If you read through the posts you will see that economic position was not one of the things the parents had in common.  Their ability to pay ranged from virtually nil to extremely wealthy.  I think what the op was searching for was a commonality of some type like religious/ non religious...economic position.. large/small families etc.  and nothing surfaced on the first pass thru... I was proposing to change the criteria a little to take a second look, that’s all.

I would have left that in, but it wasnt clear looking at all the posts what percentage went thru an EDCon.  It is hard to say who got the song and dance and who didnt so we cant be sure they had this in common.  If we did a second pass we could try to capture this information.

If you are talking about EdCons then we dont know what percentage of the parents utilized them and therefore there is no way of telling if they all had this in common.
If you mean the schools themselves then this could be true or not.  Although all schools have a song and dance and occasionally put on a dog and pony show for a group of parents (like any other school).  One of the questions we could ask is if the school effected their choice by the tour or sales pitch done by a schools agent.  In some cases parents all ready have their minds made up before talking to a specific school by talking to local therapists or familys they had met.
I think it would be important to differentiate between the three.....(sales pitch by EdCon, by school or made up mind on their own)

I believe we would find that the majority of parents who placed their child in a TBS utilized an EdCon.

Ha,Ha,Ha,  It becomes very clear why nothing is organized here.  




First, when you see him post the "ha, ha, ha"s, you know you're getting to him.


Second, Who.....there IS no organization here.  There never was intended to be any.  This is a place where people hang out and talk.  It began as a place for survivors to hang out and talk, but all POV are allowed.  Since it IS first and foremost a survivors forum pro-program people will get a fair ration of shit for pushing their particularly slick propaganda here, but at least you can still post.  Try that in any forum run by program people.  Dissent is NOT tolerated.....AT ALL.

Quit trying to turn this into something that it isn't and was never intended to be.  It is what it is.

Oh, no, I cant laugh anymore without people thinking I am really upset.  This is upsetting

That was what I was pointing out.  That’s why organized data is so hard for most people here to swallow.  It would be nice to change this.  Maybe show people the power of statistics and organized facts.

Yes, we know, Anne, and Blacks use to have to sit at the back of the bus, “we were hear first so the rest of you have to respect usâ€

We all did Anne, that is my point.  Each of us come here from different schools, different points of view, some pro program some anti program, some kids some adults... everyone is welcome, we have all been touched by the struggling teen industry.
