SES Forums

I agree Anton and sympathise. When my sister died I was given no help at school by any teachers to help me through a very difficult time. I never received one word of support from any of them. I was however kicked thrown punched around as per usual for being late due to hospital visits etc by staff ...

I agree! Lady 'x' continues "Ladies Group or Stepford Wives When a woman complained that she had been ordered by a young man I C (In charge) to move a very heavy piece of furniture, and had refused, she was severely reprimanded. If a Gentleman made an error of judgment, it was explained, it was actu...

This quote is from an ex member I am in contact with, gives a good example of SES's teaching on disability. "When asked why SES was so harsh on those with physical disabilities the tutor Mr Nash replied that so very evil were the past lives of the disabled, that a physical handicap was a sure sign t...

Spot on Jo Anne. This is exactly my experience, I grew up among some these privileged money donating members and saw how their situation differed from the rest. I would go to tutors large houses and watch them down plates of beef and lamb after "lectures" extolling the virtues of vegetarianism. I ne...

x continues... "'Ladies' at Stan Hill. We had been at Stan Hill for several days now and the intentional group synergy was having its effect in that the sheep were beginning to separate from the goats, who were muttering rebelliously, and therefore becoming visible. A Tutor suggested brightly that i...

As we have seen before SES has some warped views on disability but I was particularly shocked by one incident described in this private email I received today. The email consists of memories from SES circa 1970 to 1980 some are lighthearted while others deeply tragic. The writer does not want to pos...

Lacey once whacked me round the head very violently from behind as I walked down stairs. Nothing unusual there, St James re 1979, hurt like hell but it barely registered. However this time i had my fingers in my mouth ( i believe he hit me for eating on the stairs) and the force made me bight them r...

Boddy.
It was made early on in a private correspondence between the school and some ex pupils. He was obviously advised not to take it further. Sorry I forgot this was not public knowledge.

The reason it was incomplete for the third time is that only pupils who were aware of the enquiry had a chance to contribute. So "everyone' did not get something, unless that something is nothing. It was incomplete because it ignored relationship between SES and St James, yet this is where the real ...

it's just not getting through is it?

No, everyone did not have a chance. Only a very tiny fraction of past pupils had a chance, those that actually new an enquiry was taking place. That in itself gives enough reason for deciding to decline participation. I still cant follow your argument as to why those who did not contribute in the en...

from the waffle filled website. Always after locations, nothing changes. SES is really an elaborate property developer. Clever scam to use cult techniques to get public to moonlight as builders free of charge. "With this modest announcement, I take the first step in alerting visitors to the School t...

Ben yes the force of the canings was excessive (More akin to a flogging) I have no problem with caning if used in moderation and as alast resort. judging by the poor discipline in schools today it might be worth bringing it back!!! however, what was metered out at St vedast was brutal. I have compa...

Ben - fires are not usually put out by continuing to stoke them up. For my own part I encouraged former pupils - right from my very first post - to contribute to the enquiry, as I did. This was a one-off inquiry, a unique opportunity and it was important that anything that was to be said was said t...

Thats a truly incredible statement.

ps,
(I think you will find many SES tutors that will concur with you.)
