Beware how educational consultants now seem to be dealing with the bad press Aspen is receiving from Oregon to Texas. They're painting Aspen programs as "bad apples," and shifting their loyalties to other brands of programs. They did the same thing, I understand, when the WAASP schools were under fire, asserting that WAASP schools were the exception to the rule, just a few bad apples ruining the reputation of an otherwise trustworthy industry--and so therefore you needed to send your kid to a reputable program like one run by the Aspen corporate group. Ha. Look how that turned out for these unfortunate kids and their families. When will the educational consultants face the truth that the whole "therapeutic" model is rotten?
