For those interested in not for profit organizations that do a lot of work in Education. I think it would be nice to hear from those types of individuals who would bring a more balanced view on this website.  Its really beginning to become a big borefest in particular threads where there is an obvious clique going on.  Sincerely, Bo.

1. A group of people responding independently to a question you have asked and giving you an answer you do not want is not an "obvious clique". It is a group of people responding independently to a question you have asked and giving you an answer you do not want

2. When you recieve multiple answers you do not want, the solution is not to find a new group of people who will give you the answer you want; it is to accept that the answer you want is not, in fact, the answer.

3. You do realize this is an academic forum, right?

1) Please use standard English capitalization, spelling, and grammar on this academic forum.

2) Given the prevailing Fora hostility toward for-profit schools, isn't it fair to say that every thread on the Fora is devoted to "not for profit organizations that do a lot of work in Education"?  Or am I missing something here?

There is an odd posting history with this one.  I don't want to feel the love.
