SES Forums

and i would argue that is PRIMARILY the parents job. What about parents who hardly see their children? This is sadly the case in households where both parents work. It's not as if a school has to make a whole agenda on "infusing good values" - small things like making sure everyone on your table ha...

Personally I don't think religion/spirituality has ANY place in an academic institution - that is a private matter for the home/church and has nothing to do with academic learning. I think you've just pointed out the essential difference between schools with a religious/spiritual basis and those wi...

Who is paying for this inquiry and to what end? The problem is that I doubt very much the "victims" will want to pay any legal bills for the Inquiry out of their own pockets. I may be wrong. I agree with much of what you say, Bagel. I, however, do not know the answers to the questions you pose. If ...

anti-ses - time and again you have been asked to explain your background and agenda - you've continually igorned these requests. However your posts DO speak for themselves, and time and time again they read in supprt of the SES, not against as your "monikor" would imply. I do not wish to reveal my ...

Apologies for that. As it happens, I speak only from experience.

Your relationship with the SES has obviously changed since you wrote this...Could you please update us as to what has changed? I would be interested to know whether you have rejoined the SES... You make some incorrect assumptions. What is obvious to you is absolutely untrue. I am not, nor have been...

Free Thinker wrote:Anti_ses - "jolly little moniker" is something he took right from Katherine, who, under "patienceismymiddlename", when revealing who she was, said that since we all had them, why shouldn't she? Which was very rude, IMO.

Not rude at all, IMO.

Free Thinker wrote:...since that is what he does best.

Evidently not.

"Anti_ses" you quote Mike above, who elsewhere in his post states pretty clearly that he was never abused by the School, and then write, in a very rude tone, that it must be because "victims" are incapable of telling the difference between honest mistakes and deliberate obfuscation tactics. Rude to...

Bluntly, for some time it looks to me like Mr Boddy is on purpose making a mess so nothing comes out of this. While keeping the option open he can later say he did his best but the ex-pupils didn't co-operate. Otherwise I can't understand why they are behaving so incompetent. Bluntly, I think it mu...

Saying that you "remain unrepentant" is equivalent to labelling as liars the dozens of contributors to this forum who have reported personal acts of brutality by this man. No, they are not equivalent. By remaining unrepentant, Katharine merely states that she faithfully portrayed her image of Mr De...

Shout, it looks like you need to relax a little. Try some yoga or meditation. You've obviously had some awful experiences with the SES. Why not investigate other organisations which offer those practices? I'm not going to mention any, but I'm sure after all your suffering you will have a better idea...

...but what you mean to say is "if we start with a FALSE premise the conclusion will be incorrect" Carrying on with this (rather pointless) discussion of logic, this statement is, in fact, incorrect. A false premise does not imply incorrect conclusion. Let me illustrate in a completely unrelated ex...

How many schools in the UK teach Vedic maths? Popularity is not a measure of worth. How many top mathematicians at Oxford or Cambridge were taught Vedic maths at school? This is not surprisingly since there is very little opportunity to learn Vedic maths (see point above). Also, who said there is a...

The maths are tricks and have nothing to do with the vedas, It's not ancient at all. There obviously was indian maths in the times of the vedas, but "vedic maths" is a modern fake invention. You may be right here (though some might disagree ), but I'm sure you'll agree that the point of learning Ve...

My opinion is based on the principle of innocent until proven guilty. If you make an accusation, the onus is on you to prove it, not for me to attempt to disprove it. Again, this seems quite obvious to me, but clearly it isn't how others think. Sarcasm has good entertainment value, but it is counte...
