So struggling teens often claims that it only promotes the "good programmes" and agrees that parents and Ed cons should do their research carefully and consult with the experts.
it is interesting then that in 1998 when Tranquility bay first opened Struggling Teens gave it this positive review

Apparently it had its detractors even then! And of course they were crazy liars!

They praise programs even AFTER they get shut down.  Just google their damn  near memorials to CEDU / Brown schools after they got annihilated.  I cannot recollect a negative review of any program school on that site ever.

The site is owned by Lon friggin Woodbury

But it's okay, He's impartial. Really.  Just look here:
Quote from: ""The afore mentioned asshole's website""
Inclusion on Strugglingteens.com does not imply any endorsement by Woodbury Reports

Could it be because:

They have the best PR.  That's why ppl listen to them.  What i wouldn't give to see that fucker rot in jail.

OH.  and look what else i found on the cedu shutdown "support" page:

ST is a business. It's a business that will lie to parents to make more money. They are one of many in the EDCON business. Many parents go into business for themselves as well. It's a shame they present themselves as a resource for information, too many people take them seriously.

Many do take them seriously and their site is heavily viewed. Don't they charge a monthly fee for ads on their website?
