ASR Alumni Interview

<< < (14/21) > >>

Anne Bonney:

--- Quote from: "Dysfunction Junction" ---ASR has along history of false advertising and storytelling.  Many Ed Cons now will not refer to Aspen programs because of their false and deceptive advertising.  This "interview" is just another work of fiction to try to get heads in beds.

--- Quote from: "Whooter" ---Its very possible the same as your story could be fabricated to discredit Aspen.
--- End quote ---


Even if that were true (which it's not), it's not even close to the same thing.  Aspen is a company, charging people for their services.  DJ is just a guy, trying to tell his story.




--- Quote from: "Whooter" --- The main thing is that we all get to express our opinions, allow people to read for themselves and make an informed choice.  I think we can all agree here.

--- End quote ---

Stop using "we".  We've talked about this before.  You did well for a while, but it's slipping back in now and then.

The point is that this is a forum where people post their thoughts and ideas.  They post links to studies and news articles.  If you and DJ feel they are false or that you feel you debunked a study then that is fine, you should express this openly.  But you are speaking for yourselves.  I can believe that all the survivors stories are made up or all of them are true or maybe some are false and some are true.  I get to decide this on my own.  If you feel the girls interview is false then dont believe it.  

Aspen has a right to perform interviews with the students that passed through their programs.  If the kids okay it then they can post them for people to see.  Its a first hand account of a survivor who is expressing how they feel and their experiences.  This is completely natural and the great thing is we all get to chose to believe it or not.

No, the point is that Aspen is using these stories as marketing tools in order to increase their intakes and increase their profits.  DJ is doing no such thing.

..... why shouldn't they use it in their marketing strategy?  If you owned a bagel company and you had a customer who said things about your bagels you may want to use this in your marketing strategy.  This wouldn't make you evil or anything.
