Parents don't want to listen
FunkyChild:
i noticed on an above post stating "college prep.", they had this statistic everyone in academics prided themselves upon; "100% of our students apply and are accepted to UNIVERSITIES" i applied to a specialty college (berklee college of music) and since that didn't correspond to the statistic, academics flipped out, and told me to apply to a university. tulane was trashed, miami was too fucking expensive, and i don't have enough balls to go to new york (waaaaaay too compeditive there, the jazz scene is dying). and when a private music tutor was hired for me, staff did nothing but treat him like an intruder. thanks for the support, you cocks.

agreed. it happened to me to, but with naropa univeristy. and i also tried to get back into my old high school for the remainder of my senior year, and they sabotaged that. called my old school telling them i'm a bad kid and very high risk and such. they sabotaged my application to every school i applied to unless it was a step-down program, followed by a small, strict college. luckily my mom gave them the finger and hired a few people to do some counter-sabotage.
and the new york scene really really really does suck big fat balls. it's all bullemic spoil-tarted julliard freaks, and "try too hard" hipsters. you did yourself a favor by not coming here. you'll have better luck in boston or L.A. thought about nashville all?

“We” includes myself, but it may or may not include you. It doesn’t appear you are a very good advocate for fornits yourself, based on your posts. It is important, in my opinion, to have both sides of a discussion represented so that the reader can get a balanced argument and free flowing information. I don’t think you would be interested in or find an “All pro-HLA” forum informative and neither would I. This wouldn’t do the parents or the kids any good just like a forum which posted just a negative view of HLA.
So I think we can all agree that including and inviting people from all points of view into the discussion will strengthen the parents’ ability to make the right decision for their child. This in turn will make fornits a more reliable resource for families seeking guidance. (It has been obvious, especially on the LA thread, that people would like to keep the discussion one-sided as to mis lead the parents)
I am neutral in my position of HLA and feel I can add balance to the conversation by asking (and discovering )new questions and adding a fresh point of view which may cause all of us to see each topic in a different light, bring new information to the table etc..

Deb, please, get rid of this guy already. It's TheWho, he admits it, he's banned...What's the holdup?
I'm so sick and tired of his (in his mind only) "adding value" and "balancing the discussion". If he actually added value or balance, I'd say "keep him," but since he doesn't, just enforce the ban.
Deborah:
I can't ban. Speak to an Admin. I made the request last week. Perhaps they think Who "adds value".
