In June, Greenfields School — Scientology’s premier boarding school in England —had to explain to parents that a government agency had found deficiencies in its ability to safeguard its students.
Outstanding ! No child needs exposure to the mind-fuck perpetrated by the criminal organisation known as the « church » of $cientology. Private education is a prime feeder for cults, and it definitely needs more supervision. It would be interesting to hear the background for the decision, but the result on its own is excellent.
Hubbard knew as much about education as he did marriage, feeding babies, washing windows, radiation and getting the LSD that was supposedly still lodged in your fat cells to go away. To be touting his useless technology as worth paying for and recruiting people from overseas to pay to live there and be subjected to his draconian punishment systems boggles the mind.
The advertising for the school sent to a Scientology audience shows just what the school is. Caveat emptor.
"What is best of all is that it is the only Applied Scholastics school this side of the planet." -- Isn't this 'selling point' for the school actually an admission that Scientology hasn't gotten Applied Scholastics implemented in any other school "this side of the planet"?
Teacher, leave those kids alone.......bass riff ensues......
What 'crimes' has the Hogwarts of Clamtown committed to be so chastised? There is another story that is waiting to come out. I can't believe that they take children as young as two. I wonder how much 'day care' there costs? The place does seem to be franchised to one family, how is that working out? I don't think that children under the age 14 should be sent to 'boarding schools', but that is just me.
In hindsight, so much is deeply wrong in Hubbard's teachings/regulations, that the whole subject is one to steer completely clear of.
Even if an intelligent decent person uses, let's say, "Method 7" "wordclearing" to educate someone else, one on one, to really help teach the undereducated person, that is no reason to expect that the bulk of Scientology will be lucrative.
There is just so much entrenched, unchangeable, which is the bulk of official Scientology, that is harmful to anyone.
I've concluded one on one good mentoring, tutoring by decent well spoken intelligent persons, I'd pay for that!
Tutoring, and one on one helpful teaching, when needed. Until the person becomes literate enough to study easily on their own.
The only Hubbard study technique I use, and I discard ALL Hubbard techniques, and I was a Flag expert Course Supervisor, is the "times over" principle. (Skip all of Scientology, skip the Hubbard meager "study tech" crap, it's a waste of time---get tutored, and when literate enough yourself, study many many many times something, to fully get really high level at it.)
I study something over and over and over and over, and not just three times over, but dozens of times, and even hundreds and thousands of times. I amplify many many more times over than just the Hubbard "times over" method.
Hubbard's "study tech" is a con quick superficial system only good for parroting Scientologists to falsely claim it's worth, and it's worth is when comparing Hubbard's study tech compared to NOTHING. Next to nothing, only is Hubbard's superficial first step "study tech" of merit.
It's "better than nothing" advertising which keeps the meager Hubbard "study tech" falsely claiming it's "worth."
-------------------------------------------
There are horrible penalty rules, on the books in Hubbard's regulations, to penalize those in positions of using the "study tech" of Hubbard's.
"The Introduction to Scientology Ethics" book lists out the myriad infractions to misapplying or failing to apply the Hubbard "study tech" learning procedures.
Turn to the infractions chapters to see Hubbard's nutty misplaced desires keeping his followers slaves to Hubbard's procedures for "spiritual" advance.
The "prison of belief" regulations for Scientologists are in the infractions chapter of this book.
The book doesn't even have all some of the minutia which were in the Hubbard "bulletins" and "policy letters" writings of Hubbard's though.
The editing of the "Introduction to Scientology Ethics" is literally true. But there has been historically absolutely no interest in delving in the Hubbard policy and "tech" writings to find those other tiny details of Hubbard's ludicrous wide scope prison of belief penalties.
Tony's quoting Hubbard's daily writings and lectures' statements, is complete proof Hubbard was a sick quack nut.
Chuck, study tech is a one size fits all standard which means it fits none. I am lucky enough to be one of the people who get it the first time. The times over method for me is pure tedium. There are people who appreciate those method. They like going over and over the same thing. For me, it just pisses me off. If my husband sits next to me and rewatches a video by the third time, I get snappy and quote the video to him verbatim.
It’s the same with the rest of his study tech. No two people learn the same yet Hubbard forced them all in the same box and called it good. I learn better by practicing what I read, not re re re reading it, but my husband is the opposite, much like you. He will read it over and over and when he does it, it’s right.
Absolutely, some people, you, are just cognizant high aptitude, high ability, from the get go, absolutely, you don't need "times over" you get it upfront.
Absolutely.
For example, me, not so, for sure. I'm studying one of the five "nikaya" (collections of the Buddha's discourses) and it's 44 hours of lectures. I listen to them, now, over 5 times, start to finish. And now I'm focusing on the sub sections, and listening to them over and over, individual subsections.
Then, after this many many many times over, for me, it "sinks in."
There simply are different abilitities, and I remember strongly I too was a Flag Course Sup, and trainees are "fast" students who just get it immediately, no need to drum it into their heads over and over. And others, no amount of drumming it into their heads even is ever going to even work on them, they just aren't going to benefit from any type of "learning method."
Different aptitudes, different "I.Qs", and the longer I live, the more I believe in psychology's testing showing people's different abilities to learn, etc, are valid.
Us denser folks, for me, trying to see deeper into the meaning of important writings, I am drawn personally to listen to the works again. If I were to get it correctly the first time, fine, but not so, when it's on the subject of nibbana/nirvana
Could this be the start of the fall of SCN??? Wouldn't that be wonderful. I find it difficult for my mind to process parents sending their children to such an abusive boarding school, to what end, groom them to rotten people, robots, slaves? What a life!

Another win in the good guys column.
"What is best of all is that it is the only Applied Scholastics school this side of the planet." -- Isn't this 'selling point' for the school actually an admission that Scientology hasn't gotten Applied Scholastics implemented in any other school "this side of the planet"?
Hey Scientologists - Is the school run by Scientologists lying about it's status or is the Church lying about the success of Applied Scholastics?
Teacher, leave those kids alone.......bass riff ensues......

Agreed.
What was the schools violation?
I hope to find this out too

The fail of Scientology is happening as we speak. It’s fading every hour, minute and second of every day.
I would have thought the lawsuits would have brought it down quicker, but thanks, Geoff. I'd love to see the real stats! Love you, darling.
VL, thank you.
No thanks necessary, Geoff. I feel so greatful you are out of SCN and thriving. Sending you lots of love, 💜
