Hey ol gal.
Six days ago you presented yourself as neurtal and not a WWASP supporter, now suddenly you are an expert? How is it that in less than a week you know more than Jane? If I replace "they" with "we", you'd sound like Jane's boss, correcting her error.
You posed a question to this board:
REAL-LIFE Question: Would you ever pretend to
be someone you?re not (like a disgruntled or satisfied parent or student or activist) just to get something that you wanted?
How bout it? Would you pretend to be a curious, neutral party (who in the course of 6 days has become the authority on WWASP) just to get something you wanted?
And:
I certainly don't agree with asking the parents to go out and look for people, which is how it sounds. It comes across very tacky.
Then,
I don't see where having a few months of tuition being paid is a bad thing for helping others by sharing their experience.

Which is it? It would all be dandy if they just didn't "ask" the parents to round up others? If they didn't provide promotional materials and suggest that paretns mail their Police, Judges, Probations, Attorneys, Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Psychiatric Acute Care Centers, School Counselors, Principals, Youth Activity Directors, Parent Groups, Tough Love Groups, etc. over and over until they got a response?
How are parents going to have a few months tuition paid (25-50% is more than a few)if they aren't out there beating the bushes? I wonder how many sell the program by telling the other parents that they can earn a free month of torture for each referal?
It's much more than "helping others", and it's worse than tacky.
Read the other report:
