i just cannot figure out why you are going after a school you know some things about but truly not a lot. i work there and i deserve to have a job not have others like you trash it. i read once where you were invited to visit and i sure you never did. we do not hurt kids there and we have worked hard to make changes so there is very very little left of the old school. i have done nothing to you and yet from a whole different area of the country to want to shut us down. well come visit the school and see if you feel the same way. i actually think you would like us.
One, it's not about you or me. It's about the kids who are there being forced to participate in therapy and drug treatment at a "school." ASR is no school and you know it just like I do.
Two, it's not about shutting anyone down. It's about honesty and selling services that are above-board and legal. ASR sells services it cannot legally provide and uses unlicensed counselors, teachers and drug counselors. This is like going to the guy in an alley to get an abortion with a coat hanger instead of going to a real doctor who charges far less for the same services and provides them legally.
ASR simply needs to license properly with the state and hire qualified people and adhere to the patient's bill of rights as delineated by the state. Kids' mail cannot be screened, phone access cannot be denied, therapy must be provided legally to a volunteer participant, drug program must be licensed, kids need to be able to refuse treatment without consequence, kids need to be able to leave whenever they want without consequence and academics need to be taught by state licensed teachers or qualified teachers that teach only in their particular discipline (no cross utilization).
If ASR can't do this legally, then why would anyone on earth would anyone care if you have a job or not? Why do people who wilfuly and intentionally repeatedly violate the law even deserve a job?
If you care about your job, reputation and the kids,
you'd be doing this work so we don't have to do it for you while you resist.
