really? i was a staff. I'm speaking out of personal observation from both inside and outside confines of the program. The students were rich kids, and the students are the ones primarily responsible for the damage done. Rich kids like to be heard. they go from luxury to shit, so they have something to complain about. poor kids go from shit to slightly shittier, so they have little complain about. Rich kids have rich parents who have money to pay to sic lawyers on people that wrong them. it's simple logic, and the facts are well-established. Without the students, parents would not have been involved. without parents, the lawyers would not have been involved. without the students information, inter-parent communication, and the lawyers, the enrollment would not have gone down to the current levels (about 10 kids, in a school that used to have 200).
complainers and quitters are everywhere. A group's effectiveness is not determined by the people who quit, it's determined by the people who stay and finish the job. You dont need a hundred lazy rich kids typing out one post a month, all you need is half a dozen dedicated individuals, which is what there was on the HLA board.
