Re: Inquiry

may I offer some relatively disinterested advice? May I offer some relatively interested advice to St James to counter your disinterest? Make the terms, details, conditions, and final inquiry public not private. Have no fear of bringing everything out in the open, even if the truth will damage St J...

It is extraordinary that a school is publicly conducting such a serious matter as an inquiry into abuse of children anonymously on an internet forum under "jolly little monikers". patienceismysecondname writes "I don't know what the Governors have to do to convince everyone that they really do want ...

hi TB yes, I did some tutoring. Is there something behind your question? I sense you are looking for something more, and I will be glad to respond, but I am not sure what you are looking for. I was sure you were an ex SES tutor TB, you reasoning, turn of phrase, sound exactly like one. You even use ...

Re: Discussions with TB - a dedicated thread

As an adult and parent, and well versed in moral judgements, I now have a different outlook. And your outlook now according to your own words is that these children were not "overly" traumatised by the sexual abuse they endured? You use the verb "overly". What degree of trauma caused by the abuse w...

but I'm sure you'll agree that the point of learning Vedic Maths is to improve mental arithmetic (which is still quite important, even today) and provide easy computational techniques. Hi Anti SES I quote from your link you provided "The reasonable conclusion is that not too much attention need be ...

I did a bunch of Vedic math in my youth group in the US - it works really well, and it's not an SES-technique. It is akin to many ancient math techniques that actually work differently but many more easily than our current system. HOwever, since most of the world uses our current standard, both sho...

hi TB, a few comments. My school had a homosexual priest who regularly approached small boys with bribes of sweets, so he could put his hand in their pants. Some kids made an industry out of it and made hard cash to do unnatural things with him. This was widely known through the school by the kids, ...

TB No one is suggesting St James invented corporal punishment, but that it's administration was unique because most public schools do not believe they are creating a new renaissance under guidance from a hindu guru in india, and eating fried potatoes is a punishable crime and proof of 'low breeding'...

The punishment meted out to students in the St James schools is not very different to many of the schools in the western world during the middle decades of 20th century. Punching children in the face, throwing them into lakes, throwing cricket balls at them etc was illegal the whole last century. P...

you have many parents who simply dont care, and set no boundaries for their children. State schools in the UK, unlike Australian state schools in my experience are run by teachers who did not care and were more interested in what their trade union was doing for them! than a child getting an educati...

I think now is the time to really ask the question and be honest. What did people think of the St James education? There have been between 1000 and 2000 leavers. What do they all think. To be quite genuine, I know someone who was not in the S.E.S, nor were his parents, he went to the school during ...

Re: Inquiry Update

With no disrespect to those who have described their experiences on this website, web message boards cannot, in my opinion, be used as evidence or as an effective means of communicating with those handling the internal enquiry. Why? Because anyone can post anything virtually anonymously on such a f...
