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."

Who has said that NO ONE connected with HLA posts hear? I think it is obvious that some people connected to HLA post here.

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."

This is "former counselor" abc123 who has not nearly enough balls to log in and let anyone know who she is. Her typical tactic is to degrade posters while hiding behind the bag. She's a punk.

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.

There have not been any Clinical studies done on HLA graduates. What Schools typically do is call to see how students are adjusting to try to get a "Level of the water" so to speak on how the kids are doing after leaving a program. The findings are stunning, in most cases, that the students who dont finish do very poorly after they leave. Those who finish the program do better.
With this information in hand, the school would serve itself best by positioning the money so as to tip the scales in the favor of the kids sticking around. One way to do this is to offer incentives or have people pay in advance with no way to recoop the money if they pull their kid early.
As long as they are up front about it its not illegal or disserving to the parents.
Many times the child can manipulate the parents into pulling them out and then the kid gets home and does poorly , the school (and I wouldnt blame them) would want a hefty upfront payment to take the kid back in (if the kid would ever go!!).
