1. The company hired to help manipulate the parents is entirely from CEDU.

exactly and the parents have a choice whether or not they chose to embrace this strategy. It works for some families but others dont take to it well. I think it is good that they offer this as an alternative to doing something local.

Would ya mind pointing out exactly where you get this information, Whooter? From the wording in the recent announcement there is NO mention of "choice" or "alternative." In fact, the implication is quite the opposite:
...we are excited to announce that Academy at Sisters now provides Parent Coaching through Next Step for Success to all incoming families.[/list]
In fact, chances are, any parents who do not want to go along with this will be chastised for not doing their best to "help" their daughter! That's pretty much the way it works in most of these hellholes. :D
See: ALSO.

No, the program provides it as a service. Its not mandatory, I am sure they push hard for(or maybe strong arm) the parents to sign up because they get a kick back but parents can work in their own direction if they choose. I think overall it is a good idea to work with the school so that the issues that are uncovered or surface from the child can be communicated and addressed at home.
But you need to remember that this is a family issue and changes need to be made by all parties involved. Some parents chose counseling, others sign up with the program, others do nothing and hope the child gets fixed.

Yeah, but where do you get the information that it is just "a service," and not "mandatory?" Moreover, what do you base this statement on: "It works for some families but others dont take to it well?"
Usually, parents are not given the choice of opting out of these types of "services." Moreover, to my knowledge, Academy at Sisters has not made public any info that some parents in the test group were less than 100% enthusiastic about coaching from Next Step for Success.
This is either a spiel that you made up off the top of your head, or... you have additional info from Academy at Sisters that you've obtained personally. Is Academy at Sisters yet another "collaborative partner" of STICC? Is STICC offering a scholarship to Academy at Sisters for its next charity case?
SUCK IT:
Ok this is off topic, but it has to be said. Does anyone notice that Ursus is so quick and diligent in spending time to discredit Whooter posts. But then up comes a Piles of Dead Kid post about how it's good advice to smear shit on your face, stab your escort, or purposely send yourself to jail and not a peep. Dysfunction Junction thought the smearing shit on yourself and walls strategy would be effective, but didn't denounce the strategy. If you people want credibility you should spend more time discrediting your own extremists than attempting to discredit Whooter. Unless you are all extremists, which is what it appears like when you remain silent for some people but then protest loudly for others.
Paul St. John:
I see you have recharged and recouped.
What is your technique? How do you bring yourself back after you have a panic like the other night..... when the walls in your mind start to break down, and all you can do is delete all your posts?
Do you have a specific protocol to overcome your conscience, or do you just rest up a bit?

There's a certain truth in this, generally speaking. I won't go so far as to say if it's true in relation to those mentioned in the post; I really try not to pay too much attention to all of the back-and-forth anymore... though I admire those who take the time to speak their minds about these important issues (for lack of better word...I dislike the word "issues" for some reason, though I frequently use it myself.)
Also, if you would please explain about your avatar / gender / screen name, I'd appreciate it...thanks.
