Title: Consultants - in whose best intrest do they work?
Post by: disk_pusher on May 18, 2005, 02:21:00 PM

I am currious if anyone else here has had experience with so-called "educational consultants".

My consultant, an elderly woman by the name of Jill Porter, based in San Diego CA, advised my family to send me to CCA.  At the time, CCA had ONE student, no staff, and was located in the administrator's house.  She had never visited the school, and only knew Tammy (administrator) through Spring Ridge Academy.  Futhermore, she sent a young man to Blue Hills Academy when it only had a few students and no history of sucess because she was "familiar" with Linda and Sonja, two therapists that created the school.  Once again, she had never visited the facility.

Porter sent me to Oldfields School after CCA - it is a dumping ground for rich, spoiled brats of rich east coasters.  She knew very well it was my last choice, but didn't seem to care.  It was, also, the most expensive of my choices for high school after CCA.

So has anyone else found these people to be dishonest?  Do they get kickbacks?  If so, how much?

Forgive me for not using the searching first.  Thank you for the links!

I am currious though, if anyone here has delt with Jill Porter specifically.

Thankfully, however, the educational consultant I dealt with will not recommend MMS anymore, Jill Porter of La Jolla after she saw that the program did not work for me and another student who was sent there by her. We both left worse than when we arrived.

She's very much an active user currently and, imho, a very well grounded, intelligent young lady.

Good luck on your quest.
