A bit crude in your message, but you are correct in your assessment. RMA is a money-maker for the Wasserman (not sure that is spelled correctly) family, nothing more. In its origins, RMA/CEDU might have been something actually useful, but now it is simply a business proposition, thus the reason they expel any really difficult students.
I actually saw the whole program through, though many of my friends did not. Indeed, I was always surprised they never threw me out, instead serving two full-times, and more work details than my entire group combined. Then again, being a ward of the state, and having juvie to look forward to instead, RMA might have been the better alternative. Like I said, they do not accept the really difficult students like me anymore - too much trouble for the money (the expectancy-value theory of economics).
I hope you manage to get your group together. I shall monitor this board, which I only happened upon in a moment of midnight boredom, but am glad I did.
