Oh, so you expose yourself as sexist as well as completely ignorant and disrespectful.  Would you have listed "strip joint" as a career opportunity for a male teacher?  I think not.

Get over it, gentlemen.  When you, A., work for a program such as ASR and B., know me well enough to have anything important to say, please do repost.  And if you please, let me know what "holes" you have seen in my resume, and also perhaps what more productive activities you may consider for yourself.  

Again, you know nothing about me, nothing REAL about my nor my kids' experience at ASR, nothing about the program's affect on its students (either positive or negative), and simply nothing at all.  If you want answers to your questions, feel free to ask me.  If you are just posting about something you know nothing about, reconsider the inspiration behind it.

Yes, there were qualified eating disorder specialists working amongst our staff.  

Cheers,

Well hello there.  I must say I find this (over) argued and out-of-context discussion of my two year career at the Academy at Swift River fascinating.

A few questions:

Did you ever stop to think that perhaps a book written about one's extraordinarily deep and intense experience by a non-industry journalist may be just a bit misrepresentational or over-played via poetic license?

Or that making character/performance judgments based on my resumes (which my brother posted and mis-typed) and a mental health issue I dealt with may be a bit irresponsible?

Or that using these resulting erroneous and under-researched conclusions may be an inaccurate way to judge an entire department/academy?

Do you know that I still keep in contact with around 60 former students whose lives were fundamentally changed for the better at ASR because of some of their incredible, intuitive, empathetic, skilled, hard-working and dedicated (yes, these qualities can in fact exist in "them younger folk") and who are doing wonderfully in their lives?

And is the title of this post ("First teacher-then bartender and now singer") meant as a negative indication of character?

Try and be a little more careful when judgmentally and seemingly so in-depthly discussing a person or establishment you know, in reality, very little about.

And by the way, I much enjoy my own use of the word "discipline" in my resume.  If you've ever been in the restaurant world you know that the word is important and, as one of you mentioned, an indicator that one knows the workings of it well.

Good luck.  I'm sure you're both excellent people.
