Sometimes I get the impression from reading posts on Lon's board that there is an underground network of parents who are successfully pitching non-WWASPS programs ... to their own financial gain. Am I wrong?
I honestly do not know. Have you asked Lon or maybe Jena? I'd think they'd be much more in tune to this than anyone on Fornits.
I have never seen anything like this myslef, but I don't use Lon's board much. Just now and then.
Same anon says:
It's too bad you were booted off the parents support board for expressing your opinion
Actually, what I got the boot from the BBS for, was stating a fact. A couple facts - and then maybe worst of all - asking a question no one wanted to answer. "What chance does a Cathiolic family rep have of ever working up to being a Director? "

Good for you, Karen, at least you tried to engage those folks in some sort of meaningful dialogue before they pulled the plug on you. Good question about the catholic family rep but could you elaborate a bit as I'm not sure what you mean "working up to being a Director"?
MelissaR:
Uhhh....what chance does ANY family rep have to being promoted to director? Family Reps don't become directors. Directors come from within WWASP's innermost shell. For example, Cameron and Chaffin Pullan have been SCLA directors since the program opened in 1998. Usually the only promotion within the facility is family parents to family reps...and that's once in a great while. The rest of the staff comes and goes without much notice.
MelissaR:
I don't think that the Mormon thing is necessarily true. They don't hire based on religion. They don't promote staff based on religion. But, they are founded on the principles of the Mormon religion, and they govern parts of their program according to the Mormon religion. And that, is most certainly enough for me. Promotion of staff in the programs is based on to what degree they promote the program to the "students." I think the Catholic thing is irrelevant, as far as the directors go at least. Everyone knows that the "big boys" at WWASP, back in UTAH are Mormon though, but onsite at each facility it's questionable. The type of people you're looking at, the staff on the facility, are those willing to do ANYTHING for a buck.
