Well, I agree that ISAC has good intentions, but do not feel they have taken a hard enough stand against the cottage industry of ed cons and independent referral services who are profiting from the lucrative business of "referring" (sic) kids into the greedy hands of the teen hurt industry.
Make no mistake, this is the #1 threat to every single pre-teen and adolescent in America. These folks are professional predators, IMO.

Personally, I think every single program that pays a fee to outsiders for referrals should be listed on a national database. This is highly unethical, and I fear that parents have no concept of the risk they are taking putting their faith (and their kid) in the hands of a program who pays outsiders (Independent Referral Agents) to help them meet their enrollment quota (aka "heads in the beds".
:eek:

A referral to the school from an educational consultant means an automatic admission? I thought once the referral was made it was between the school and the parent(s) and they had the final say if it would be an appropriate placement. I realize the ed cons do the initial screening and pick from their pool of schools, but that it didn't mean the school would automatically admit based on that.

Are you nuts?
If the kid isn't so badly damaged as to be violent, or so mentally retarded as to be inconvenient, the primary requirement for admission is to have the unfortunate position of one's parents being gullible and possessed of an excess of financial liquidity.
It's a racket.
