some are very good and some are very bad. major factors in this is how much money the state is willing to spend on private for profit faculties. can these private for profit companies pay a decent wage to attract quality employees. is the state willing to monitor and fine these companies for violating the rights of the clients and or covering up such violations.

i have a funny feeling that alabama will fail those in need and the families who love them.
