does this sound at all true?

So, am I understanding that the 'scholarship' is a kind of 'discount', provided your child completes the program?

Obviously out of thier asses! That's not the correct amount. "

Tuition + uniforms = $7000.00/mo (not including all the "extras" like therapy, etc.).
Who's lying?"

Kids are not getting a new set of uniforms every month. If they are, it is because they are intentionally destroying them. And, yes, that does happen.
Yes. Families have to pay back the financial aid if they do not finish the program. This is spelled out very clearly in the contract that they sign. If you don't want to follow the contract, don't sign it. No one is making them enroll their child here.
They want kids to finish the program, because HLA's experience has shown that kids that finish the program do better than those who do not finish the program. Believe it or not, HLA actually cares about how their kids do after graduation.
You would not believe the number of families that withdraw their kids early and then call back a few months later, begging HLA to allow them back into the school.
If a student graduates from HLA and follows HLA's post HLA reccomendations, and still blows it within the first six months of graduation, the kid can come back for free.

A coersion tactic to keep the parents in line. How nifty. "If you find out about our false advertising and that our program doesn't work and seek real professional help for your floundering kid, we'll fuck you real good."

So you offer the same "warranty" as WWASPS facilities. Why do you consider a child a product that can carry a warranty?

So sayeth the marketing department. Kindy show a clinical study (not a questionaire sent exclusively to "satisfied customers")that shows your program works. WHERE IS YOUR DATA? Isn't it yet obvious that your "experience" is meaningless? You folks lie about everything to keep the cash coming in. That's been shown time and time again.
Antigen:
Art Barker had the very same kind of warrantee policy at The Seed. It was more open ended, though. Anybody, anytime, no matter where you went or how hard you tried to hide could be started over.
My parents tried to get my sister started over for her poor taste in boyfriends. Thank GOD they didn't go along w/ that! I think there was, at some time, at least a little bit of temperance in Seed culture. May hap that's part of why John really got the bum's rush. Who knows?
But it didn't have to be a parent request. Any Seedling might report any old-timer or sibling for anything or nothing. Then they'd throw down the gauntlett. In some cases, they'd kidnap the alleged fuckup off the street or trick them into going to the building. In other cases it was easier. I had to attend open meetings w/ my mom. Every time, I had to talk to some Sr. Staff, who would glare suspiciously into my eyes, looking for "signs" of druggiedome. It was nerve wracking! I was always grateful for another week of liberty after open meetings, but never too sure about the next week.
Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself

Really? How do you come by this knowledge? You would HAVE to be associated with HLA in some way yet you all claim that NO ONE connected with HLA posts here. Hmmmm.
