--- Quote --- You think the problem anyone has with Ed Cons is because they really just don't want ANYONE to be referred to ANY TBS or wilderness EVER?
Thats quite an agenda...

You made some good points, ACM, Guess I broke one of my own rules(beliefs). I am not a big believer in absolutes and don’t like blanket statements either. Seems EdCons take a big hit from everyone here…it was mentioned that they shouldn’t be referring to TBS’s and I couldn’t find anything to back that up…that they should meet the children in person before referring them to a school etc. No one could point me towards where that is stated or defined and it didn’t become apparent during my few hours of research (not very in-depth, I agree), so I made a poorly supported conclusion.
EdCons are in the business to make money, like everyone else, and I can see that there could be a conflict with incentives that could tip the scales towards one school or another or to a placement that the child doesn’t even need. There may be more corrupt ones than good ones, I don’t know. I am not an EdCon nor have I ever used one.
I will take a back seat to this issue and read more from parents and students before giving my opinion on this subject again....sorry.

I'm glad you didn't take my post personally. In fact, i should thank you for giving me that opening to share a few of my grievances with the whole Ed Con phenomenon. With any luck at all, someone will learn something from our banter.

By comparison, Jean Hague was not even close to being considered a large referrer to HLA...

None of them are anymore.

I would certainly hope the Educational Consultants would stop referring children to HLA in the shape that it is in now. I would think that they would want to protect their reputation more than that.
